Sleep Study Tests
Sleep studies form a vital part of cardiac and respiratory assessment due to causative and compounding impact of sleep disorders. At CardioScan Aotearoa, we offer level 2 and 3 sleep studies and level 4 oximetry tests.
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.
Exercise Tolerance Test
An Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) is a non-invasive testing method of detecting heart disease which may otherwise not be evident without exercise. A 12-lead ECG forms part of the test.
