could you explain what is an abnormal cardiology test?

Question

Answer 1

Be more specific: What type of cardiology test?

Answer 2

Test : There are many tests done in cardiology and diffetent degree of abnormalities ; please be more specific and what kind of test.

Answer 3

There is a problem: In cardiology, as other specialties, we generally perform diagnostic test to support clinical suspicion. In every test we have a set of normal findings that we expect to find if everything is normal. If some of this findings are different, we classify the test as abnormal. Not always that means that something needs to be done, but it says that the result is not as expected in a normal individual.

Answer 4

Abnormal test: It's a too broad of question to answer. If you have specific test in mind then it will be easier to answer as there are quite a few tests in cardiology.

Answer 5

Which test?: There are many tests, so it is impossible to give an answer to this vague question.

Answer 6

Depends: It depends what test you're talking about. An abnormal test is a very broad statement. Do you know what test it was?

Answer 7

Depends: Depends on what cardiology test you are talking about. This can go from abnormal physiologic function to structural heart disease. Terms are very broad. A particular test is needed to give a better explanation

Answer 8

Stress: Do you mean stress test? There are different tests: regular treadmill, exercise nuclear and chemical stress. Usually we look for symptoms, ekg changes and abnormal tracers uptake in the heart.

Answer 9

?: Which type of test, there are several tests in Cardiology

Answer 10

Cardiology testing: There are several different "cardiology tests". Treadmill, nuclear perfusion, echo, angio, ecg, troponin, etc. if you are more specific it would be easier to explain the normal parameters. Hope thats helpful.

Answer 11

What do : You mean by a cardiology exam? Consult your doctor; they may refer you to a cardiologist.

Answer 12

Physicians: Any physicians can do a cardiology exam but a cardiologist is best trained and equiped to do a comprehensive cardiology exam.

Answer 13

Ticker checkup: The best screening against heart disease is your annual physical and regular blood pressure and cholesterol checks. Your primary physician can conduct a thorough physical exam, but if further studies like an ECG or echo are required they will refer to a cardiologist, an expert in the heart. In cardiac emergency situations (like in ed), a cardiology referral will be made.

Answer 14

At a cardiologist's: Office.

Answer 15

Through: A cardiologist office. Best to make sure the doctor is board certified.

Answer 16

Begin with MD: A cardiac risk evaluation begins with your family primary care doctor. He or she can assess your framingham risk percentage and measure blood pressure, cholesterol, family inherited risk, lifestyle added risks, and counsel you toward risk reduction. Tests alone cannot provide the opinion of a physician. Stress testing and echocardiography can be added as needed.

Answer 42

Helps Both Sides: A biv (biventricular pacemaker) helps coordinate 2 of the hearts 4 chambers proper heart beat so they can pump more effectively. This implanted device is placed in patients with advanced heart failure. Sequential pacing helps move blood through the heart in a stronger progression. Improves quality of life, ability to exercise, decreases hospitalizations, can lengthen life.

Answer 43

Both ventricles: There are three wires. One wire in the right atrium, one wire in the right ventricle and one wire in the left ventricle. The left ventricle wire is not directly in the ventricle, it is placed in the coronary sinus. Pacing the heart this way specially weak heart muscle is more synchronized. Hope that helps.

Answer 44

Heartfailure therapy: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt), also called biventricular pacing, uses a special kind of pacemaker -- a biventricular pacemaker -- that is designed to help the ventricles contract more normally. It keeps the right and left ventricles pumping together by sending small electrical impulses through the leads. This therapy has been shown to improve the symptoms of heart failure and quality.

Answer 45

2 wires 2 ventricles: BIV pacer is a pacemaker that has 2 wires that are sychronized to fire at a short time one to the other so that the mechanic of contraction of the heart is more efficient. It is implanted in patients with low ventricular function and electrical conduction abnormalities.

Answer 46

BIV : The device paces both the left and right ventricle allowing for a more efficient pump. It permits people with congestive heart failure to live a better life with decreased hospitalizations.

Answer 47

Probably not free: Carlos, most of the medical publications are by subscription, therefore you should pay an annual fee. You might be able to search some abstracts online.
