Heart Disease Screening
Temple Health offers a range of comprehensive heart disease screenings to assess your heart health and identify potential risk factors or underlying conditions. Our screenings are designed to detect heart disease at its earliest stages, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.
Overview of Heart Disease Screenings
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
An Electrocardiogram is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps detect abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and other heart conditions.
Echocardiogram
An Echocardiogram uses sound waves to create images of your heart. It provides detailed information about your heart’s structure and function, helping identify heart valve diseases, heart muscle disorders, and other abnormalities.
Stress Testing
A Stress Test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. It helps detect coronary artery disease and assesses your heart’s response to exertion.
Holter Monitoring
Holter Monitoring involves wearing a portable device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity for 24 to 48 hours. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms that may occur intermittently.
Cardiac CT Scan
A Cardiac CT Scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of your heart and blood vessels. It helps evaluate the presence of coronary artery disease, heart valve abnormalities, and other heart conditions.
Cardiac MRI
A Cardiac MRI provides detailed images of your heart’s structure and function using magnetic fields and radio waves. It helps diagnose heart muscle disorders, heart valve diseases, and other heart conditions.
Calcium Scoring
A Calcium Scoring Test measures the amount of calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. It helps assess your risk of coronary artery disease and determine the need for further testing or treatment.
