Evaluation & Diagnosis
If you have heart or vascular disease symptoms, your care team may use a variety of tests to help determine the cause. Some tests your doctor may use include:
- Cardiac catheterization – Transradial (through the wrist) cardiac catheterization is available to shorten recovery time.
- Echocardiograms – We use transthoracic (over the chest) ultrasounds, stress echocardiograms and transesophageal echocardiograms.
- Heart rhythm monitoring – This technology includes electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, event recorders, and implantable cardiac monitors.
- Intravascular ultrasound – A small ultrasound device shows the inside of a blood vessel.
- Stress tests – Your team may use exercise, chemical, or nuclear stress tests to see how the heart responds when it has to work hard.
- Vascular imaging – An ultrasound wand shows blood flow in a certain area of your body.
