How does a stress test work?

A standard exercise stress test uses an EKG (electrocardiogram) to detect and record the heart’s electrical activity. An EKG shows how fast your heart is beating and the heart’s rhythm (steady or irregular). It also records the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through your heart. During a standard stress test, your blood pressure will be checked. You also may be asked to breathe into a special tube during the test. This allows your doctor to see how well you’re breathing and measure the gases that you breathe out. A standard stress test shows changes in your heart’s electrical activity. It also can show whether your heart is getting enough blood during exercise.

When the plumbing of your heart gets clogged, the interventional cardiologists at Statesboro Cardiology should be your first call.

Radial Cardiac Catheterization

Coronary and Peripheral Intervention

What Is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention?#N#Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-oh-plas-tee) is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary (heart) arteries. The procedure improves blood flow through the heart muscle by removing plaque that has built up in the coronary artery over time.

What to expect during an Electrophysiology test

During an EPS, a thin, flexible wire is passed through a vein in your groin (upper thigh) or your arm to your heart. This wire records your heart’s electrical signals. During the test, your doctor can electrically stimulate your heart and trigger an arrhythmia. This allows your doctor to see whether an anti-arrhythmia medicine can stop the problem.

What is an Arrhythmia?

An arrhythmia (ah-RITH-me-ah) is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. Abnormal heart rhythms may also be a result of scarring on the heart, caused ny heart attacks, aging and high blood pressure.

Treatment options for Arrhythmia

Catheter ablation is a medical procedure used to treat some types of arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. A series of thin, flexible wires are put into a blood vessel. The wires are guided into your heart through the blood vessel. A machine sends energy to your heart through one of the catheters.
