Description:

Welcome to Munster Cardiac Services which is based in the 4th Practice, MPHC, Mallow, Co Cork. Echocardiogram Echocardiogram often referred to as an echo, is a picture of the heart. Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and ultrasound to create images of the heart.Echocardiography has become routinely used in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests in cardiology providing a wealth of helpful information. The simple test is non invasive and takes between 20 and 30 minutes to perform by applying a gel to the chest and a sensor is moved over the chest area to produce an image of the internal structures of the heart. Exercise Stress Tests Exercise Stress Test is a test used to measure the heart s ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment.The cardiac stress test takes about 40 minutes and is done with heart stimulation exercise on a treadmill with the patient connected to an electrocardiogram (or ECG). The level of mechanical stress is progressively increased by adjusting the difficulty (steepness of the slope) and speed. The Cardiac Technician examines the symptoms and blood pressure response.. 24 hr Holter Monitor 24 hour Holter monitor is a portable device for continuously monitoring various electrical activity of the cardiovascular system for at least 24 hours.When used for the heart, (much like standard electrocardiography) the Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. These electrodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient s belt or hung around the neck, and is responsible for keeping a log of the heart s electrical activity throughout the recording period. The holter monitor is fitted on the first visit and the removed 24 hours later on a second visit and each visit lasts about 10 minutes.
