HEART INSTITUTE
Services Included in the Heart Institute
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
ABPM is a relatively new technique for assessing a person’s blood pressure. It allows a doctor to assess the patient’s blood pressure during routine daily living, instead of when they are nervously sitting by the doctor’s examination table.
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
Electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in the heart to detect problems and monitor the heart’s status in many situations. GreenCity’s ECG machine is a 12 channel resting and/or exercise ECG device that is multipurpose and mobile. The integrated LEDs provide information about the signal quality of each individual ECG channel. The ECG recording can be started with a click on the device and an integrated countdown for a 10 second ECG is visible via LED.
Echocardiogram
Echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of the heart to see how the heart is beating and pumping blood.
Holter Monitoring
A holter monitor is a small, wearable device that keeps track of the heart rhythm.
Treadmill Stress Test
The Treadmill Stress Test, also known an Exercise Stress Test, shows how the heart works during physical activity to reveal if there are problems with blood flow within the heart.
Vascular Procedures
Is a painless exam that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture internal images of the blood vessels in the arms, legs and neck. This test helps to determine how the blood is flowing through the blood vessels.
