Echocardiography, also known as ultrasound of heart, is a test used to assess structure and function of heart. It is one of the most used
non-invasive tests for heart along with ECG.
TMT:
TMT or Tread Mill Test or Stress Test or Exercise Test measures how well the heart works when it is beating fast and working hard. A stress
test helps doctors see if the heart is getting enough blood during these times.
PFT:
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are non-invasive tests that show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity,
rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information helps diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.
EEG:
At GCS Hospital, we have professionals having years of experience. They do medical test used to measure the electrical activity of the brain
via electrodes applied to your scalp. It is used to diagnose neurological conditions. EEG may be performed continuously during the night while you are asleep
Our neurologists examine the EEG recording for abnormalities in the brain-wave pattern, which may reflect diseases of the nervous system.
NCV:
The department of Nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) at GCS Hospital is highly experienced. NCV is an electrical test that is used to
determine the adequacy of the conduction of the nerve impulse as it courses down a nerve. This test is used to detect signs of nerve injury.
EMG:
Electromyography (EMG) involves testing the electrical activity of muscles. Often, EMG testing is done with another test that measures the
conducting function of nerves, known as Nerve Conduction Test. EMG, may aid with the diagnosis of nerve compression or injury, nerve root injury and with other problems of the muscles or
nerves.
At GCS Hospital, we have specialized Neurologists for this. EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with
nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
ECG:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check heart's rhythm and electrical activity.
