CARDIO DIAGNOSTICS

---

Dr. Amonkar believes that clinical cardiology lies at the heart of cardiovascular disease evaluation and management. Hence, he devotes ample time for outpatient evaluation and diagnostics like 2D echocardiography, Stress test and Holter monitoring at the Clinic.  

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of your heart. It is a simple test that can be a part of your routine health check or advised for specific cardiac complaints such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or palpitations.

A 2D echocardiogram, commonly called ‘2D echo’, shows the graphic detail of the heart’s movement. During this test, high-frequency sound waves called ultrasound provide pictures of the heart’s valves and chambers. This allows your cardiologist to evaluate the pumping action of the heart.

A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test (TMT) or exercise test, helps your doctor find out how well your heart handles its workload during physical exercise. It can show if there’s a lack of blood supply through the arteries that go to the heart. It also helps to assess physical capacity.

Holter monitoring involves continuous digital recording of ECG for 24 hours. The monitor can be worn during your regular daily activities. Thus it helps the physician to correlate symptoms of dizziness, palpitations or blackouts with ECG changes. It is likely to detect an abnormal heart rhythm than just an ECG.

The test allows continuous monitoring of blood pressure throughout the day and is useful to determine whether you are a dipper or a non-dipper, that is to say whether or not your blood pressure falls at night as compared to daytime values. Absence of nighttime dipping is associated with higher risk.
