Heart Investigations
Investigation
At Trident Heart Centre, we offer a wide range of heart investigations to assess and monitor your heart health. From heart screenings to evaluate overall health, angiograms to detect blockages, and cardiac stress tests to measure heart function under stress, our team provides comprehensive diagnostic services to support effective treatment planning.
An angiogram is a diagnostic test that uses X-ray imaging and a special dye to visualise the arteries of the heart. It helps detect blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which could lead to heart disease.
A heart screening involves a series of tests that assess your overall heart health and detect early signs of heart disease. It helps evaluate risk factors and can provide insights into potential heart conditions before symptoms appear.
A treadmill ECG is a test that monitors the heart’s electrical activity while you exercise. This test can detect irregular heart rhythms, the impact of exercise on heart function, and signs of heart disease.
The calcium score test is a CT scan that measures the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries. A higher calcium score indicates a higher risk of coronary artery disease and helps guide treatment decisions.
A heart CT scan uses advanced imaging technology to provide detailed pictures of the heart’s blood vessels and structures. This scan can detect calcium deposits and other early signs of heart disease, offering a non-invasive way to assess heart health.
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test that provides moving images of the heart. It helps assess heart structure and function, including the heart valves, chambers, and pumping efficiency.
The Holter rhythm assessment is a continuous ECG recording worn for 24 to 72 hours to detect irregular heart rhythms that may not appear during a standard ECG. It helps monitor how your heart beats throughout daily activities.
The Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) test uses ultrasound to measure plaque buildup in the carotid arteries. It helps assess your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
A carotid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to assess the carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain. It helps detect narrowing, plaque buildup, or blockages that may increase the risk of stroke.
