Unveiling Your Heart Health: Diagnosing Heart Disease

Dr. Stephen Broughton Talks about Diagnosing Heart Disease

Feeling a flutter in your chest or experiencing an unusual shortness of breath? These could be signs of developing heart disease. But do not worry, there are great imaging technologies to help doctors diagnose potential problems and their severity. Let’s explore some of the technologies used to diagnose heart disease: 

  • Electrocardiogram: This procedure measures your heart's electrical activity. It can reveal abnormalities and even hint at structural changes within your heart.

  • Echocardiogram: This is a noninvasive ultrasound to provide detailed views of your heart's structure and function.

  • Nuclear Imaging: This involves injecting a safe radioactive tracer. Combined with CT imaging, it captures pictures of your heart.

By utilizing these advanced imaging tools, doctors can gain a comprehensive understanding of your heart's health. This empowers them to provide accurate diagnoses and develop personalized treatment plans. Visit chistvincent.com. for more information.
