Exercise Stress Echo
The patient will be asked to complete a regular treadmill exercise test, while their ECG, heart rate and blood pressure are recorded. After the treadmill exercise test, the patient will be quickly moved back to the patient bed and the heart will be looked at again for any sign of abnormal activities.
Respiratory Tests
Respiratory tests are essential when assessing a patient’s lung function by measuring key aspects of breathing, including air volume, airflow speed, and gas exchange efficiency. These tests help diagnose conditions such as asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
CardioScan Aotearoa’s 24 hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) and reporting service provide interval measurement over 24 hours, for a full diagnostic assessment of a patients blood pressure, accommodating circadian rhythm and white coat or masked hypertension.
