The electrocardiogram (also known as an ECG or EKG) is an electrical recording of your heart that is performed at rest and is an integral part of a cardiovascular examination. This test permits an analysis of your heart rhythm at rest and provides other information, for example whether there is abnormal thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophy) or whether there is evidence of a previous heart attack (myocardial infarction).
An ECG stress test (also known as an exercise test) is supervised by the cardiologist who is beside the patient. This test is performed on a treadmill and permits an evaluation of the patient’s physical capacity with continuous ECG monitoring and measurements of blood pressure during exercise. This test informs about the patient’s cardiovascular adaptation to exercise. It screens for arrhythmias and especially the presence of significant narrowing (or blockage) of the heart’s arteries (coronary arteries) which may not be previously known.
We can perform 24h ambulatory monitoring of your blood pressure so that our cardiologist can rapidly optimize clinical management.
In the presence of palpitations (sensation of irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia), it is possible to identify exactly what is going on with a heart rhythm monitor that can easily be worn for a week. When palpitations are felt, the patient simply pushes a button that records the heart rhythm and permits a precise diagnosis.
Medical Checkup
If you are looking for a general checkup or more specifically a cardiac (cardiovascular) checkup,
we offer a visit and clinical exam with our cardiologist and any tests adapted to your particular needs that may include,
in addition to a resting electrocardiogram and blood tests, an exercise test and if indicated,
ambulatory blood pressure and/or arrhythmia monitoring.
