This tracing of the heart's electrical function
includes pulse rate, heart rhythm and detailed
information about the heart's electrical
conduction pathways.
Echocardiogram
(Echo):
This test is performed by placing an instrument
on the outside of the chest to collect sound
waves and then create a picture of the structures
of the heart. Detailed information about the
heart's wall thickness, chamber size, valve
function and ventricular wall motion are collected.
There are two echo machines as well.
Vivid
7
From cardiac to vascular exams, Vivid
7 is versatile enough to share its exceptional
capabilities across a full range of clinical
imaging applications. With innovative image
processing techniques and new breakthroughs,
the Vivid 7 Dimension enhances shared services
imaging. Its clinical tools improve image
quality and diagnostic confidence, to broaden
capabilities and expand vision in diverse
studies.
• The 9L transducer features a new ergonomic
profile, with a smaller, more ergonomic handle
design and a smaller, lighter, more flexible
cable, for easier, more comfortable scanning.
• The next steps in speckle reduce imaging
offers improvements that enhance image quality
in difficult-to-image patients.
• Blood Flow Imaging (BFI) gives you
a better understanding and delineation of
directional blood flow in vessels.
• IMT measuring technology dramatically
reduces the time it takes to measure the carotid
artery's intima-media thickness, which studies
show may be an early sign of atherosclerosis.
Vivid
i
The easy-to-use Vivid-i significantly increases
clinical productivity with time-saving features
and a wide range of innovative connectivity
options. The Vivid-i delivers the superb raw
data image quality required for cardiac and
vascular scanning, allowing one to see the
diagnostic information needed to effectively
assess LV function and cardiac performance.
The Vivid-i gives clinicians high-performance,
full diagnostic and monitoring capabilities
for all perioperative needs: TEE monitoring,
regional anesthesia, carotid evaluation, and
saphenous vein harvesting.
Exercise
Stress Test:
This test involves collecting data about the
heart's response to exercise. The patient
exercises on a treadmill while ECG, pulse
rate, blood pressure, (sometimes) maximal
oxygen consumption, and other clinical signs
and symptoms are monitored. This test helps
the physician to understand if the heart is
able to compensate for the body's increased
requirement of blood and oxygen when physical
work or activity is performed.
