Non-invasive heart tests and advanced cardiac care in Mohali.
Understand the purpose of common cardiac tests and therapies available through Olive. A cardiologist recommends investigations based on symptoms, history and clinical findings.
Core Non-Invasive Diagnostics
- ECG (Electrocardiogram): A foundational test that records the heart's electrical activity. It can identify rhythm abnormalities and changes that may be associated with reduced blood flow or a heart attack.
- 2D Echo (Echocardiogram): Uses ultrasound technology to show the heart's chambers, valves, movement and pumping function in real time.
- TMT (Treadmill / Stress Test): Monitors symptoms, heart rhythm, blood pressure and exercise capacity to assess how the heart responds to exertion and whether further evaluation may be needed.
- Stress Echo: Combines stress testing with echocardiography to assess heart-muscle movement and valve function under stress.
- Holter Test: Records heart activity continuously for 1 to 7 days and can help investigate intermittent palpitations, unexplained fainting or syncope, and rhythm disturbances.
Advanced Vascular & Therapeutic Services
- EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation): A non-invasive therapy using timed leg cuffs to support blood flow toward the heart for selected patients under cardiologist supervision.
- CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness): A painless ultrasound measurement of carotid artery walls that can support assessment of early plaque changes and cardiovascular or stroke risk.
- Vascular Age Analysis: Uses measures such as central aortic blood pressure and pulse-wave velocity to assess arterial stiffness and vascular health.
