Electrocardiogram
A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps your physician find out how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps your physician know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient. The length of time you walk is based on your heart rate, EKG, blood pressure and ability to exercise. This test will take approximately one hour. A person taking the test Is hooked up to equipment to monitor the heart. Walks slowly in place on a treadmill. Then the speed is increased for a faster pace and the treadmill is tilted to produce the effect of going up a small hill. Can stop the test at any time if needed. Afterwards will sit or lie down to have their heart and blood pressure checked.

Endoscopy
A transesophageal echocardiogram is a special type of echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart). This test uses a special echocardiography transducer (ultrasound camera) that is inserted through the mouth, through the back of the throat, and into the esophagus. It is very similar to the scope used for upper endoscopy by gastroenterologists. This test enables doctors to obtain images of the heart from inside the esophagus (the tube that goes from the mouth to the stomach). Since the esophagus lies close to the heart, the TEE allows very clear images of the heart structures and blood flow. This test is performed in an hospital setting.

Ultrasound
Arterial and venous duplex scans are painless tests using ultrasound waves to evaluate the arteries and/or veins of the legs or arms. Your family physician or cardiologist may ask you to have this test if he or she feels you are at high risk for blockages in these arteries or if you have been experiencing pain in your calves when you walk, which would make it difficult for you to walk any distance. This is a non-invasive test that is performed at our offices and takes approximately 45 minutes to perform.
