Description

The Heart Package provides a comprehensive evaluation of the heart, and includes blood tests, an ECG, an exercise stress test and an echocardiogram. The blood tests will identify abnormalities of the blood cells, blood chemistry, blood glucose, kidney function, liver function and cholesterol level. An ECG test records the electric current that causes the heart to beat, which does not pass normally through damaged heart, and is picked up on the ECG test. If there is poor blood flow to the heart muscle, this could lead to a heart attack. The ECG may be normal when at rest, but changes may show up during exercise, which is called a Stress Test, before a heart attack actually occurs. This can then be treated and prevented. An echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart, will identify abnormalities of the heart structures, and determine how well the heart is functioning.

The Heart Package provides:

• Examination of the heart and blood vessels
• blood tests
• ECG
• exercise stress test
•  echocardiogram
