Heart Tests
The heart is a little organ that circulates blood throughout your body. It is the main organ of your circulatory system. Electrical impulses propel four major sections (chambers) of your heart. Understanding your risk, making healthy choices, and making efforts to lower your chances of having heart disease are all part of living a heart-healthy lifestyle. Adopting preventive actions can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Your doctor or physician may prescribe standard diagnostic tests to diagnose heart disorders after a health check-up. Specific heart tests offered include the Lipid profile, Cardiac screen panels, Cardiac injury profiles (mini & maxi), Cardiac risk profile, Heart failure profile Maxi, and Atherosclerosis profiles 1, 2 & 3.

Why Are Heart Tests Important?
Heart tests play a crucial role in detecting heart conditions early, helping prevent serious complications like heart attacks or strokes. They assess heart function, detect blockages, and monitor overall cardiovascular health. Regular heart checkups are essential, especially for those with a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or lifestyle risks like stress and poor diet. Prioritizing heart tests can lead to timely treatment and a healthier life.
When Are Heart Tests Prescribed?
Heart tests are recommended when a person experiences symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fatigue. They are also prescribed for individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or a family history of heart disease. Doctors may suggest heart tests before surgery, during routine checkups for at-risk individuals, or to monitor existing heart conditions. Early detection through these tests can help in effective treatment and prevention of severe heart issues.
How Is The Heart Test Performed?
Heart tests vary depending on the type of evaluation needed. Common tests include:
✅ Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Small electrodes are placed on the chest to record the heart’s electrical activity.
✅ Echocardiogram: Uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart’s structure and function.
✅ Stress Test: The heart’s activity is monitored while walking on a treadmill or using medication to simulate exercise.
✅ Blood Tests: Check cholesterol, enzyme levels, and other markers indicating heart health.
✅ Angiography: A special dye and X-rays help visualize blood flow in the arteries.
Each test is performed by healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor heart conditions, ensuring timely treatment and care.
Time Required For Heart Test Reports + Next Steps
⏳ Report Timing:
- ECG/EKG: Instant results
- Echocardiogram: 24-48 hours
- Stress Test: Same day or within 24 hours
- Blood Tests (cholesterol, enzymes, etc.): 6-24 hours
- Angiography: 1-2 days
🔹 Next Steps:
- If results are normal ✅ → Maintain a healthy lifestyle & routine checkups.
- If abnormalities are found ⚠️ → Consult a cardiologist for further evaluation, medications, or additional tests.
- For critical cases 🚨 → Immediate treatment or intervention may be required.
Early detection saves lives! Get tested on time for a healthier heart.
