Frequently Asked Questions

An ECG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of the heart and detects rhythm abnormalities. An echocardiogram (echo) uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart's structure, showing chamber size, wall thickness, valve function, and pumping ability. They provide complementary information about heart health.

Yes, stress testing is generally safe when performed under medical supervision. The test is stopped immediately if you experience chest pain, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, or abnormal heart rhythms. We continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG during the test for safety.

For healthy individuals without risk factors, a baseline assessment at age 40 and then every 3-5 years is recommended. Those with risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history) should be assessed annually. People with known heart conditions need more frequent monitoring as directed by their cardiologist.
