2. -Holter Monitor
*A portable ECG (ElectroCardioGraphy) device that can be worn for
up to 2 weeks at a time
*Records electrical signals from the heart thorough ‘electrodes’
*Very useful for identifying
Cardiac arrhythmias or epileptic
events or any other event that
would be difficult to identify in a
shorter period of time.
*Uses regular double AA batteries

3. Stress Testing
*It measure’s the hearts ability to handle stress by utilizing exercise
(in many cases a treadmill) to evaluate cardiac fitness

4. Continued…
The results show the
difference between the
coronary circulation at
rest and the coronary
circulation during
maximum physical
strain.
A type of chart that would be produced by a stress test.

5. Echocardiography
*A two dimensional picture of the
heart (basically a heart sonogram)
*Utilizes ultrasound to focus on
parts of the heart that might not be
working properly such as,
-valves
-cardiac wall leaking
-Right and Left side confusion
-measures cardiac dimensions
and wall thickness
*Greatest advantage is it’s non
evasive
