Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An essential first step in understanding your heart health.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the small electrical signals generated by the heart as it beats.
It is used to check your heart’s rhythm and overall condition.
Electrodes are placed on your chest, wrists, and ankles during the procedure.
The test is painless and takes only a few minutes to complete.
This test can detect heart conditions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathy at an early stage.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is especially recommended if you experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or swelling.
In addition, individuals with lifestyle-related conditions such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or diabetes are at higher risk of heart disease and are encouraged to undergo regular ECG screenings.
Detectable Conditions
Myocardial Infarction
Angina Pectoris
Arrhythmia
Cardiomyopathy
Important Notes
No special preparation is needed, but please wear clothing that allows easy access to your upper body for the test.
Holter Electrocardiogram (Holter ECG)
A test that records your heart’s electrical activity for 24 hours or longer to detect heart disease.
A Holter electrocardiogram (Holter ECG) is a test that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity for 24 hours or more during your normal daily activities.
A small, portable ECG device is attached to your chest to monitor your heart rhythm and detect any irregularities as you go about your day.
The test usually lasts about 24 hours and is completely painless.
This test can detect heart conditions that may be missed during short-term hospital examinations.
It is especially recommended if you experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, or dizziness.
Even if you do not have any noticeable symptoms, heart issues may still be present.
If you have a family history of heart disease or any concerns, please feel free to consult us.
Detectable Conditions
Myocardial Infarction
Angina Pectoris
Arrhythmia
Important Notes
The Holter monitor is not waterproof, so please refrain from bathing or showering while wearing the device.
Cardiology Tests Available
Our clinic offers the following diagnostic tests.
Based on the results, we will develop an appropriate treatment plan and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist.
Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the small electrical signals generated by the heart as it beats.
This test can detect heart conditions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathy at an early stage.
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
A pulmonary function test provides a detailed assessment of lung capacity and airway condition.
The procedure takes about 10 minutes and involves breathing deeply in and out through a mouthpiece.
It enables the early detection of respiratory diseases.
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
The ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) test is used to assess arterial narrowing and the degree of arteriosclerosis.
Blood pressure cuffs are placed on both arms and ankles to measure blood pressure, and the test takes only a few minutes.
It is useful for detecting and managing conditions that involve narrowed blood vessels.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring) is a test that records your blood pressure over a 24-hour period during your normal daily activities.
A specialized monitor is worn on the arm and automatically measures your blood pressure at regular intervals.
This test is useful for detecting types of hypertension that may be missed during a standard clinic visit.
Ultrasound Examinations
There are two types of ultrasound examinations: carotid ultrasound and echocardiography.
Carotid ultrasound checks for atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries, while echocardiography observes the structure and movement of the heart in real time.
Exercise Stress Testing
A stress test is an examination that evaluates how the heart functions by measuring your electrocardiogram (ECG) during exercise.
By placing stress on the heart, this test can help detect conditions where blood flow to the heart is reduced during physical activity—such as ischemic heart disease—at an early stage.
Sleep Apnea Test
A sleep apnea test is used to detect breathing pauses and snoring during sleep.
With a simple at-home screening, we can determine whether you may have sleep apnea.
If any abnormalities are found, we will recommend appropriate treatment options to help improve your sleep quality.
