Question

What isnthe best test to do to check that you have heart disease or problems with heart.Normal 2decho, stress test, ecg.My cardio still want mvp 2decho?

Answer 1

MVP/QT interval: MVP is associated with arrhythmia/long QT interval. Your QT is longer and you have T wave abnormality- low - mid probability of long QT syndrome. Have you had syncope? any other family members diagnosed with prolonged QT syndrome? Consider eval by a cardiac electrophysiologist. Discuss keeping T4- thyroid level in the mid not high range.

Answer 2

Baby monitoring: A non-stress test is a way of checking on the baby. We listen to and record the fetal heart for 20-30 minutes. We are looking at the baseline heart rate and how the heart rate goes up or down. We are looking at this to see if the baby is getting enough oxygen or if there are other problems with how the baby is doing.

Answer 3

NST: They look for the contractions of uterus and its relation to heartbeat of the kid.

Answer 4

Heart Damage: A "q wave" is seen on an electrocardiogram (ekg) several of which are recorded during a stress test. Q waves may be very small and not carry much significance or may be larger and suggest that heart damage by a heart attack has occured at some point in time. Further testing and imaging of the heart may be required to determine if the Q wave is significant.

Answer 5

Q waves: Q waves can be a sign of an old scar from previous heart attrack, or in many cases it is a normal variant. It is not typically one of the things that we look at to determine if there are problems with blood flow to an area of the heart during exercise.

Answer 6

Speciali equipment: An average stress test does not directly measure oxygen consumption. Specialized equipment used with a treadmill (GXT) test can measure oxygen consumption often reffered to as a "v dot o two" measure. A standard GXT measure workload achieved by how far you go and gives a "metabolic equivalent" or "met" or average expenditure to achive that workload. The higher the mets achieved, the better.

Answer 7

CPET: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing measures oxygen consumption at rest and during maximum exercise, usually on a stationary bicycyle or sometimes on a treadmill ...

Answer 8

Exercise: A bike stress test accomplishes the same result as a treadmill exercise test. Both cause you to exercise. This increases the workload on your heart. If there are blockages that limit the flow of blood to the heart muscle then ischemia is produced. This can be detected by the recording equipment and using an echocardiogram (ultrasound) or nuclear imaging improves the tests diagnostiv accuracy.

Answer 9

Measure ECG and O2: Usually during a bike stress test, the doctors see if there are changes in your ECG (or ekg) or your echocardiogram as you exercise on a stationary bicycle. Sometimes, they can also measure how much oxygen your body is able to take in and provide to your body at rest and during maximum exercise (max o2 consumption).

Answer 10

Depends: Depends on the type of stress test you are having. There are exercise ecg's where you exercise on treadmill and you heart rate is constantly monitored, then tere are exercise nuclear and exercise echocardiograms where you exercise and pictures of your heart are taken before and after exercise, then there ate pharmacological test which pharmacological agents r used to simulate exercise.

Answer 11

Stress test: Electrocardiogram done and blood pressure monitored with either treadmill or bicycle exercise used for screening for coronary artery blockage or exercise induced arrhythmia or checking for impairment with certain valve problems. The risk is minimal.
