ECG
ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. It is quick and commonly advised for chest discomfort, palpitations, dizziness, blood pressure evaluation or routine cardiac screening.
2D Echo
2D Echo is an ultrasound of the heart. It helps assess heart chambers, valves, pumping function and structural findings. It is often advised for breathlessness, murmurs, hypertension or known heart disease.
Stress test
A treadmill stress test evaluates how the heart performs during exercise. It may be advised for exertional chest discomfort, diabetes risk or cardiac fitness assessment, only when appropriate and safe for the patient.
Holter and 24-hour ABP
Holter monitoring records heart rhythm over a longer period, while ABP monitoring tracks blood pressure changes during daily activity and sleep.
