Frequently Asked Questions
2D-3D echocardiography is an advanced imaging technique that provides detailed images of the heart in real-time, allowing for better visualization of its structures and function. Strain echocardiography measures the deformation or strain of heart muscle, which can help in assessing cardiac function more accurately.
TEE is a specialized echocardiography technique where an ultrasound probe is inserted into the esophagus to obtain clearer images of the heart and nearby structures. It's often used to evaluate heart valves, blood clots, and other cardiac conditions that may not be well visualized with standard echocardiography.
DSE is a test that combines the use of dobutamine, a medication that stimulates the heart, with echocardiography to evaluate how well the heart responds to stress. It helps in detecting coronary artery disease and assessing heart function under conditions of increased demand.
Holter monitoring is a procedure where a patient wears a portable device (Holter monitor) that continuously records the heart's electrical activity over a period of 24 to 48 hours. Holter reporting involves analyzing the recorded data to identify any abnormal heart rhythms or other cardiac issues that may not be captured during a standard electrocardiogram.
