What is Cardiology ?
Cardiology is branch of medicine that involves the study and treatment of disorders of the heart and the blood vessels. If you are someone suffering from a heart disease or cardiovascular disease, you might need to refer to a cardiologist. A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. Cardiologists are responsible for the medical management of various heart diseases ranging from congenital defects to heart attack and heart failure. The cardiologist carries out tests and performs some procedures such as heart catheterizations, angioplasty, or inserting a pacemaker.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
How do you know if your heart is feeling healthy or not? ECG or electrocardiogram test is a medical test that can be used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. Electrocardiogram test in Park Circus is a painless, non-invasive way to help diagnose many common heart problems. You may need an ECG if you have signs such as chest pain, dizziness, light-headedness, confusion, heart palpitations, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, or a decline in ability to exercise. ECG is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the heart.

Echocardiography (ECHO)
When your doctor wants to evaluate the pumping action of your heart, he/she will recommend Echocardiography. ECHO or echocardiography is a graphic outline of your heart’s movement. An
Echocardiogram Test in South Kolkata uses high frequency sound waves from a hand-held wand placed on your chest to take pictures of your heart’s valves and chambers. This ultrasound test checks the structure and function of your heart. Echo is generally recommended to check your heart’s condition when you show symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or detect any congenital heart defects before birth.

Holter Monitoring
Holter monitoring test in South Kolkata is a small, wearable device that constantly monitors and records your heart’s rhythm. A holter monitor test is often done when the traditional ECG doesn’t provide enough details about your heart’s condition. A cardiologist or your healthcare practitioner might recommend a holter monitoring if they notice symptoms of constant irregular heart beat, unexplained fainting, or a heart disease that increases the risk of arrhythmias. Although there are no significant risks involved in wearing a holter monitor, some people might face minor discomfort or skin irritation when the sensors are placed.

Color Doppler
Color Doppler test in South Kolkata is a type of Doppler that uses technology to change sound waves into different colors. These colors show the varying speed and direction of blood flow in real time. Color doppler receives the ultrasound signals reflected by moving red blood cells in the heart. It is very useful in giving a quick visual assessment of regurgitation and stenosis of heart valves. It can also detect any abnormal flow, as in an atrial or ventricular septal defect. Doppler ultrasound may help diagnose conditions such as blood clots, poorly functioning blood valves in your leg veins, heart valve defects, congenital heart disease, a blocked artery, bulging arteries and so on.
Treadmill Test (TMT)
The treadmill test, or TMT is the measurement of your heart’s reaction to excessive stress in a controlled medical setting. In this test, you will be asked to run on a treadmill with electrocardiography attached to monitor and record your heart rate. TMT is typically performed on heart patients to decide the seriousness of the coronary or cardiac illness. Fundamentally used to test coronary vein diseases or decode guess after a heart attack, angioplasty or bypass surgery. The TMT test is conducted by a trained technician in a medical setting with resuscitation equipment in hand in case of any untoward events. The computerized console used during the TMT test also measures ECG parameters and alerts if necessary.

Ambulatory BP Monitoring
24-hours ambulatory BP monitoring is a method to measure blood pressure continuously. In this method your blood pressure will be measured even while you are sleeping. The data recorded in the monitoring device is then analysed by your doctor to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure at different times of the day. 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring provides additional information about how changes in your blood pressure may correlate with your daily activities and sleep patterns. It is the best way to detect abnormal changes in blood pressure that usually go unnoticed when it’s measured once at the doctor’s clinic. It’s mostly used to detect white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and sustained hypertension.
Ambulatory Heart Monitors
Ambulatory heart monitors are devices that record the electrical activities in your heart. These devices are mostly used to detect heart rhythm problems over a long period of time. Additionally, ambulatory heart monitors assist in diagnosing arrhythmias that you will otherwise not feel, that happens unpredictably or lasts for a short while. Some of the common types of arrhythmias that are monitored using ambulatory heart monitors include bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, and supraventicular arrhythmias. The test is typically conducted by a team of medical technicians and physicians. Cardiologist reviews the result to diagnose the condition of your heart and plan the treatment accordingly.
