FAQS

Cardiology is the medical specialty that deals with the study and treatment of disorders and diseases of the heart and the circulatory system. Cardiologists are the medical doctors who specialize in this field.

Some common heart diseases include coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), valvular heart diseases, and congenital heart defects.

Several risk factors can contribute to heart disease, including smoking, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, family history of heart disease, and age.

Cardiologists use various diagnostic tests and procedures to identify heart diseases, including electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), stress tests, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and coronary angiography, among others.

A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction (MI), occurs when there is a sudden blockage of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, usually due to a blood clot in a coronary artery. This can lead to damage or death of the heart tissue.

Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweat.

Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as adopting a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, not smoking, managing stress, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and managing diabetes if applicable.

A treadmill test, also known as a stress test or exercise test, is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the heart's response to physical activity. It involves walking or running on a treadmill while the heart's activity is monitored.

A treadmill test is done to assess the heart's performance during exercise, identify any underlying heart conditions, diagnose coronary artery disease, evaluate heart medication effectiveness, and determine safe exercise levels for patients.

During the test, the patient walks or runs on a treadmill at increasing levels of difficulty. The speed and incline of the treadmill are adjusted periodically. Electrodes are placed on the chest to monitor the heart's electrical activity, and blood pressure is measured at regular intervals.

Yes, treadmill tests are generally safe. They are conducted under the supervision of trained medical professionals who can handle any adverse reactions or complications that may arise during the test.

The duration of the test varies, but it usually lasts between 10 to 15 minutes. However, the preparation and recovery time may extend the overall time spent in the medical facility.

To get accurate results, it's typically recommended to avoid eating, drinking (except for water), or smoking for at least 2-3 hours before the test.

Wear comfortable clothing and suitable shoes for exercise, like sneakers or running shoes.

Stress Echo

A stress echo, short for "stress echocardiogram," is a diagnostic medical test that combines an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) with an exercise stress test. This procedure is performed to assess the function and blood flow of the heart under conditions of physical stress. The test is typically conducted in a hospital or a clinic with specialized equipment and medical personnel, including a cardiologist and trained technicians. Here's a general description of how a stress echo is performed.

FAQS

Stress Echocardiography, also known as Stress Echo, is a medical imaging procedure used to assess the heart's function and blood flow during physical stress. It combines echocardiography (ultrasound) with exercise or pharmacological stress to evaluate how well the heart muscles and valves are working.

How is Stress Echocardiography performed?

The preparation may vary depending on the type of stress used (exercise or pharmacological). Generally, you will be asked not to eat or drink for a few hours before the test, and you may need to avoid certain medications that could interfere with the results

The entire procedure usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, including the stress phase and the time required for image acquisition and analysis.

You will be asked to exercise on a treadmill or receive medication while lying down. The level of stress will gradually increase until your heart reaches the target rate or you experience symptoms that require stopping the test. The echocardiographer will perform the ultrasound examination before, during, and after the stress phase.

ECHO

An echocardiogram is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound to create detailed images of the heart's structures, such as its chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns. This non-invasive test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor heart conditions.

ECHO stands for "Economic and Community Health Organization." It is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting economic development, community health, and social well-being in various regions.

A: ECHO implements a wide range of programs and initiatives to support economic growth, improve community health services, and address social issues. These can include job training, community health clinics, education initiatives, poverty alleviation programs, and more.

The location of ECHO's headquarters may vary depending on the specific organization in question, as there may be multiple entities with similar names operating in different regions.

If you are interested in getting involved with ECHO, you can start by visiting their website or contacting their local offices. They often have volunteering opportunities, donation options, and may collaborate with other organizations for various projects.

ECHO is typically a non-governmental organization (NGO) or non-profit organization that operates independently of government agencies. However, some ECHO programs may receive funding or support from government entities.

The success stories of ECHO can vary widely depending on the specific organization and its projects. Some common success stories include increased employment rates, improved access to healthcare services, poverty reduction, and positive impacts on local economies.

ECHO's funding can come from a variety of sources, including individual and corporate donations, grants from foundations, fundraising events, and sometimes government funding or contracts.

ECG

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It is a valuable tool used by healthcare professionals to assess the heart's rhythm and detect any abnormalities in its function. The test is non-invasive and painless, making it a common diagnostic procedure for evaluating cardiac health. During an ECG, small electrodes are placed on specific points on the skin of the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes are connected to an ECG machine that records the electrical signals generated by the heart as it contracts and relaxes during each heartbeat.

FAQS

An ECG is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It helps healthcare professionals assess the heart's rhythm, detect abnormalities, and diagnose various cardiac conditions.

During an ECG, small electrodes are attached to specific locations on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the electrical signals generated by the heart. The signals are then recorded and displayed as a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity.

No, an ECG is a non-invasive and painless procedure. The electrodes are simply placed on the skin surface, and there are no needles or injections involved.

A normal ECG typically shows a characteristic pattern with specific waveforms called the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave. The P wave represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex indicates ventricular depolarization, and the T wave shows ventricular repolarization.

An ECG can help diagnose various heart conditions, including arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), heart blocks, conduction abnormalities, and more.

Yes, an ECG is an essential tool in diagnosing a heart attack. Certain ECG changes, such as ST-segment elevation or depression, are indicative of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and can guide immediate medical intervention.

The actual ECG test usually takes a few minutes to complete. The setup and electrode placement may take a bit longer.
