Comprehensive cardiac assessment for respiratory patients including arrhythmia detection, heart function evaluation, and cardiovascular risk assessment with expert interpretation and analysis.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a painless, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. For respiratory patients, ECG is crucial as many lung conditions can affect heart function, and cardiac issues can present with respiratory symptoms. Our comprehensive ECG evaluation helps identify cardiovascular complications and guides appropriate treatment.
Procedure: Standard 12-lead ECG recorded while patient is at rest lying down.
Duration: 5-10 minutes including preparation and recording
Purpose: Baseline cardiac rhythm assessment, conduction abnormalities, structural heart disease
Best For: Routine screening, chest pain evaluation, pre-procedural assessment
Procedure: Continuous ECG monitoring during treadmill or bicycle exercise testing.
Duration: 30-45 minutes including pre-test preparation and recovery
Purpose: Detect exercise-induced cardiac abnormalities, assess exercise tolerance
Best For: Coronary artery disease detection, exercise capacity evaluation
Procedure: Portable ECG device worn for 24-48 hours for continuous monitoring.
Duration: 24-48 hours of continuous recording
Purpose: Detect intermittent arrhythmias, assess heart rate variability
Best For: Palpitations, syncope, suspected arrhythmias
Procedure: Patient-activated recording device worn for weeks to months.
Duration: 2-4 weeks of intermittent monitoring
Purpose: Capture infrequent cardiac events when symptoms occur
Best For: Rare palpitations, infrequent syncope, medication monitoring
Patient History: Review of symptoms, medications, and previous cardiac history.
Preparation: Remove jewelry, change into hospital gown, inform about pacemaker or implants.
Skin Preparation: Clean and prepare skin for optimal electrode contact.
12-Lead Setup: Precise placement of 10 electrodes on chest, arms, and legs for comprehensive view.
Patient Positioning: Comfortable lying position with relaxed muscles.
Signal Acquisition: 10-second recording of electrical activity from multiple angles.
Trace Review: Immediate assessment of recording quality and artifact presence.
Repeat Recording: Additional recordings if needed for optimal quality.
Computer Analysis: Automated measurements of intervals, axis, and rhythm.
Expert Review: Physician interpretation with clinical correlation and recommendations.
Report Generation: Detailed written report with findings and clinical significance.
Patient Discussion: Explanation of results and any necessary follow-up or treatment.
