We can diagnose heart problems/disorders/diseases with various advanced and developed diagnostic techniques.

A combination of various methods and procedures is used to diagnose heart disorders.

1) ECG (Electrocardiogram):

An electrocardiogram is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. These signals that cause the muscle fibers of the heart to contract come from the sinoatrial node, which is the heart’s natural pacemaker. In an ECG test, the electrical impulses produced as the heart beats are recorded and displayed on a piece of paper. This is known as an electrocardiogram and records any problems with the heart rhythm and the conduction of the heartbeat through the heart, which may be affected by underlying heart disease.

2) Echocardiography:

Echocardiography is a procedure that uses ultrasonic waves directed on the chest wall to obtain a graphic record of the position of the heart, the movement of the walls or internal parts, such as the valves.

3) Angiography:

An angiogram is an x-ray exam that allows the doctor to see the blood vessels and blood flow to the heart. It shows how clogged your arteries are, how well your heart is pumping, and whether or not your heart valves are opening and closing correctly. During an angiogram procedure, a special dye is injected into your blood vessels so they can be seen on X-ray film. An angiogram can help your doctor make a proper diagnosis and suggest treatment for heart disease.

4) Coronary 64-slice computed tomography:

A CT scan is a safe and effective procedure.

A CT scan technologist will escort you to the CT scan room in your radiology department, where you will see a table and a large donut-shaped device called a gantry. The technologist will ask you to lie down on the padded table and make sure you are comfortable. You will be asked to hold very still during the scan and to hold your breath for a short time to minimize any movement of the body. He will receive an injection of contrast fluid to outline the coronary arteries and structures so doctors can better see his heart and coronary system. During the scan, you may hear a buzz, but you won’t feel anything unusual. He may feel the table move while images are being taken of certain parts of his body. The technologist will be monitoring you throughout the exam through a window and may communicate with you through an intercom. The actual scanning portion of the exam will take just a few seconds.

The 64-slice CT scanner, in a fraction of a second, produces 64 images per rotation, a speed at which a precise scan of your heart can be performed in approximately 5 seconds. This represents a new diagnostic power when it comes to diagnosing patients with chest pain and ruling out obstructions. This CT scanner offers the ability to provide a compressive view of the coronary arteries within 5 heartbeats.
