When should I get an ECG or 2D Echo done?

An ECG or 2D Echo is recommended if you experience chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, or have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease. These tests help detect irregular heart rhythm, valve problems, and pumping function issues at an early stage.

Is TMT or stress test painful or risky?

TMT (Treadmill Test) is a safe, non-invasive test performed under medical supervision. It monitors your heart's response to physical activity to check for reduced blood flow linked to coronary artery disease and is generally well tolerated by most patients.

How long does Holter monitoring take?

Holter monitoring typically records your heart rhythm continuously for 24 to 48 hours using a small portable device, helping detect irregular heartbeats that a standard ECG may miss during a single visit.

Who needs ambulatory BP monitoring?

Ambulatory BP monitoring is useful for patients with fluctuating blood pressure, suspected white coat hypertension, or those already on BP medication whose readings need to be tracked over a full day and night for accurate treatment planning.

When is ICD therapy recommended?

ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) therapy is recommended for patients at high risk of life-threatening irregular heart rhythms, helping prevent sudden cardiac arrest by continuously monitoring the heart and delivering therapy when needed.
