Common tests in Cardiology

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test records the electrical activity of the heart and can help determine if there has been damage to the heart muscle.
  • Blood tests: Certain enzymes and proteins, such as troponin and creatine kinase, are released into the blood when the heart muscle is damaged. Blood tests can measure the levels of these substances to help diagnose a heart attack.
  • Chest x-ray: This test can help rule out other possible causes of chest pain, such as pneumonia or a lung clot.
  • Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a detailed image of the heart and can help determine the extent of damage to the heart muscle. This test involves inserting a thin tube called a catheter into a blood vessel in the arm, leg, or neck and threading it to the heart. It can help determine the location and severity of the blockage in the coronary artery.
