Echocardiogram
An echocardiography is a cardiac ultrasound that assesses the structure and function of the heart, especially in cases of chronic hypertension, and can identify potential alterations to the heart’s structure and function.
Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitor is a continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) that records the electrical activity of the heart to check for any potentially dangerous electrical abnormalities (arrhythmias).
Graded Exercise Stress Testing (GXT)
A graded exercise stress test (GXT) is a non-invasive test to screen for coronary artery disease. This test involves exercising on a cardiac treadmill to a target heart rate while electrocardiogram (ECG)
Exercise Stress Echocardiogram
An exercise stress echocardiogram involves all the components of a graded exercise stress test (GXT) with the addition of a focused echocardiogram that is performed immediately after exercise.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is the gold standard for diagnosing hypertension, distinguishing between essential, white-coat, and masked hypertension.
Blood Pressure Devices
We recommend all patients with hypertension should own their own home blood pressure device to facilitate blood pressure monitoring at home. We sell affordable devices that are made by BIOS and are validated by Hypertension Canada.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG is a simple, single electrical reading from the heart that is performed at rest. Several non-invasive electrodes are applied by a technician to the chest wall and a 10-second reading is taken.
