Even if there are no symptoms, anybody with a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol, who is or has been a smoker, or who has diabetes must consult a cardiologist.

Common Cardiology Tests:-

Echocardiogram

Sound waves are utilized in this procedure to produce images of your heart. This prevalent test lets your doctor examine how your heart is beating and how blood flows through it. Echocardiogram images are used to diagnose different abnormalities in the heart muscle and valves.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

The electrical activity of the heartbeat is measured to offer two types of information. First, a doctor can calculate how long the electrical wave takes to move through your heart by monitoring time intervals on the ECG. The length of time it takes a wave to move from one area of the heart to the next indicates if the electrical activity is normal, slow, rapid, or irregular.

CT Scan

A type of X-ray imaging that involves a computer to generate cross-sectional pictures of your heart is what takes place under this test. It can be used to evaluate your heart and blood arteries for issues. It is also known as cardiac computed tomography, computerized axial tomography, or CAT scan. It is also used to determine whether or not blood vessels in the brain have been damaged by a stroke.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)

The specialist will use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce detailed images of your heart and the arteries that go to and from it during this examination. The echo transducer, which generates sound waves for TEE, is linked to a tiny tube that travels through your mouth, down your neck, and into your esophagus, which is extremely close to your heart’s upper chambers.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

A magnetic field and radiofrequency radiation are used to produce detailed images of organs and structures within your body. It may be used to evaluate your heart and blood arteries as well as identify stroke-affected regions of your brain.
