An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart to detect any issues with the heart's rhythm. An echocardiogram, on the other hand, is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create a moving image of the heart, allowing your cardiologist to evaluate the heart's structure and function. While an EKG is a quick and straightforward test, an echocardiogram is generally more detailed and can provide more information about the heart's overall health.
A treadmill stress test typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. During the test, you will walk on a treadmill while the team monitors your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
A nuclear stress test will take approximately 4-3 hours. This test is performed by injecting a small, safe amount of radioactive material into your bloodstream. This test will allow the team to take pictures of your heart and assess how much blood it pumps in different situations.
