Heart Stress Tests
An exercise stress test evaluates heart function during physical exertion, detecting coronary artery disease. In contrast, a nuclear stress test adds a radioactive tracer to measure blood flow, providing more detailed insights into heart health at rest and during exercise, aiding in diagnosing heart conditions more accurately.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to create images of the heart's structure and function. It helps diagnose heart conditions by assessing heart valves, chambers, and blood flow, providing vital information for treatment decisions.
Doppler scans
Venous scans evaluate blood flow and detect clots or blockages in veins, aiding in diagnosing conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Arterial scans assess blood flow in arteries, identifying blockages or narrowing, crucial for diagnosing conditions such as peripheral artery disease. Both scans are non-invasive and help guide treatment decisions.
