EKG - HEARTSITE.COM
EKG or Electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram, EKG or ECG: An EKG is an important part of the initial evaluation of a patient who is suspected to have a heart related problem. Small sticky electrodes are applied to the patient's chest, arms and legs. However, with some systems, the electrodes may be applied to the chest, shoulders and the sidesHEART TESTS
Cardiac Tests. INITIAL EVALUATION: The cardiac work up of a person with suspected heart disease is most commonly initiated in a physician´s office, a clinic, or an Emergency Room. It begins with an interview during which the physician asks a series of questions about the patient's symptoms or complaints. This is known as the History ofIllness.
ISOTOPE STRESS TEST
An isotope stress test is also known as a nuclear, thallium, Cardiololite, Myoview or dual isotope stress test, depending upon the method used. During exercise, healthy coronary arteries dilate (develop a more open channel) more than an artery that has a blockage. TILT TEST - HEARTSITE.COM Tilt Table Test or TTT in the diagnosis of fainting, balckout spells or NMS syncope is explained to patients with the use of multimedia. CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Occasionally, the muscle within a coronary artery may go into spasm and markedly reduce blood flow to the heart muscle. This condition is known as coronary spasm. Typically, the chest discomfort of coronary artery spasm occurs at rest, and usually during the early morning hours. When the spasm is relieved (spontaneously or with the use of TREADMILL STRESS TEST The patient walks on a treadmill while the blood pressure and EKG are monitored. The treadmill test evaluates the heart's response to exercise and helps uncover problems such as coronary blockages and heart rhythm abnormalitiesECHO STRESS TEST

The Heart 2/4. Let us now follow the circulation of blood through the heart. As noted earlier, oxygenated blood is pumped by the left ventricle to all parts of the body, other than the lungs. The body tissue removes much of the oxygen for its own need. The blood, whichis
ECHOCARDIOGRAM
What is an Echocardiogram: An echocardiogram is a test in which ultrasound is used to examine the heart. The equipment is far superior to that used by fishermen. In addition to providing single-dimension images, known as M-mode echo that allows accurate measurement of the heart chambers, the echocardiogram also offers far more sophisticated and advanced imaging. HEARTSITE CARDIAC CATH 4 Through the sheath, and over a guide-wire, a long soft plastic tube or catheter is inserted and guided towards the heart. An x-ray monitor is used to observe the path of the catheter. Different catheter shapes are used during the procedure. Click on the play button to view this, and the subsequent movies. Filming the Coronary Arteries.HOLTER MONITOR
A Holter monitor is a continuous tape recording of a patient's EKG for 24 hours. Since it can be worn during the patient's regular daily activities, it helps the physician correlate symptoms of dizziness, palpitations (a sensation of fast or irregular heart rhythm) or blackouts.
STRESS TEST INTRO
Stress Test Intro. Regular Stress Testing. Chemical Stress Testing. Isotope Stress Testing. Echo Stress Testing. Patients with coronary artery blockages may have minimal symptoms and an unremarkable or unchanged EKG while at rest. Alternatively, patients with no heart disease may have fairly convincing symptoms and a suspicious EKG. HEART ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY Heart Electrical Activity. The heart has a natural pacemaker that regulates the pace or rate of the heart. It sits in the upper portion of the right atrium (RA) and is a collection of specializes electrical cells known as the SINUS or SINO-ATRIAL (SA) node. Like the spark-plug of an automobile it generates a number of "sparks" per minute.CARDIAC CATH 3
This serves as a passage-way or introducer for the insertion of catheters. The sheath has a white plastic "hub" that sits outside the skin. The hub contains a one-way valve that allows catheters to be introduced through the sheath but prevents blood from escaping. Cardiac Cath 3/6.

Site Info
Welcome
This web site was designed to provide information to patients who are being evaluated and treated for a heart-related complaint. All contents are reviewed by physicians to ensure accuracy. Our objective is to educate. The information on this web site is meant to supplement and NOT to replace those obtained from your personal physician. Please consult your physician because a specific disease, test or treatment may not be applicable to your case. To facilitate understanding, tools and lectures were designed from the ground up instead of scanning in traditional textbooks or videotaping a slide presentation and then modifying it for use on the Internet. This site includes panoramic views, 3D animation, online lectures, narrations, streaming instructional video, and easy to understand animated examples. All of the material on this web site is made up of original work designed by the web site team and reviewed by the Medical Editor (seebelow).
Menu of Selected Topics (click on an item to see details): Heart Basics 101 provides the viewer with fundamental information about the structure and function of the heart. History of Illness: The cardiac evaluation begins with the patient being interviewed by the physician to obtain a detailed history of his or her illness. Physical Examination: During this phase of the cardiac evaluation, the patient is examined by the physician. Chest x-ray: This test helps answer questions about the size of the heart, fluid in the lungs, pneumonia and multiple other abnormalities that may be accounting for thepatient's problems.
EKG or Electrocardiogram: The electrocardiogram provides important information about the presence of coronary artery disease, heart rhythm and other cardiac issues. Echocardiogram: This test is uses ultrasound to examine the heart chambers, valves and the lining of theheart.
TEE or TE Echocardiogram: TEE uses ultrasound to examine the heart with the use of a probe that looks at the heart fromthe back.
Stress Echo: This test is uses ultrasound to examine the heart, before and immediately after exercise or chemical stress and uncover problems such as coronary artery disease. Treadmill Test: The patient walks on a treadmill while the blood pressure and EKG are monitored. It evaluates the heart's response to exercise and helps uncover problems such as coronary blockages and heart rhythm abnormalities. Chemical Stress Test: The test is similar to the Treadmill test (left), except that chemical stress is used (instead of exercise) to help uncover problems such as coronaryblockages.
Isotope Stress Test: An isotope tracer is used to increase the accuracy of a stress test in helping diagnose coronary artery disease. Tilt Table Test: The test is used to diagnose a specific cause of syncope or black out spells that is known as Neurally Mediated Syncope or NMS. Holter Monitor: This is a 24 hour tape recording of the patient's EKG. It is used to diagnose the cause of symptoms such as black outs, dizziness, irregular heart beats and coronary artery spasm. Cardiac Cath or Angiogram: A thin and flexible tube or catheter is inserted into the blood vessel of the arm or leg and guided to the heart with the use of x-ray. Contrast or "dye" is injected to help diagnose heart disease. PTCA or Balloon Angioplasty: A thin catheter is guided to a coronary artery blockage. A small balloon at its tip is then inflated and deflated to open up the coronary artery blockage. The balloon catheter is then removed. Coronary Stent: This technique uses a stent or narrow stainless steel wire mesh to open up a coronary blockage. The stent is delivered to the site by a PTCA balloon (left). Drug Coated Stent: The stent is coated with a medicine to reduce the chance of a coronary artery blockage from returning in the same area. Coronary artery Disease: The onset, symptoms and treatment of this disease is discussed. Heart Attack or Acute MI: This section provides fundamental details about a heart attack together with its cause, symptoms and treatment. Heart Failure or CHF: Using easy to understand examples, this section provides fundamental information about congestive heart failure, together with its cause, symptoms andtreatment.
On-line Lectures: This uses a familiar classroom lecture format. We balance simplicity with the needed depth of information. Animations and common analogies are used to illustratepoints.
