🩺DIAGNOSTIC TESTS OF LOW HEART RATE INCLUDE:

✔️Blood Test. A medical technologist draws blood from your forearm to check for anaemia (haemoglobin) and an overactive thyroid gland (thyroid function)

✔️Electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a noninvasive test wherein a technician places ECG leads on your trunk so it could record the electrical impulses of your heart.

An ECG helps detect irregularities in the heart’s structure and rhythm that cause palpitations. This test may be performed either one is at rest or during exercise (Stress Test).

✔️Holter monitoring. Also called an ambulatory ECG, this battery-powered portable device works as ECG albeit using electrodes with fewer leads.

It records a continuous ECG, measuring the heart’s rhythm and rate typically between 24 to 72 hours, while the patient keeps a journal of palpitations felt.

Holter monitoring may be advised if your doctor wants to detect palpitations that don’t show on a routine ECG test.

✔️Event recording. This device is also called a cardiac event recorder and it’s similar to a Holter monitor in purpose. However, this device only records short periods of one’s heartbeat.

You need to wear the event recorder throughout the day and push a button to record when you experience irregular heart rhythms. If you don’t experience such while you wear a Holter monitor, or if the cardiac events occur less than once in a week, your doctor might advise you to wear an event recorder for several weeks.

✔️Echocardiogram. Also known as diagnostic cardiac ultrasound. This is also a noninvasive test which uses ultrasound waves via a transducer that is passed all over your chest to show a detailed image of the heart’s structure and function.

The images are then transmitted on a video monitor so your doctor can view your heart’s valves, chambers, and blood vessels (arteries, aorta & veins).

Thru the echocardiogram, your doctor can also check if you have abnormal holes and blood clots (inside the heart chambers), or problems with your pericardium (outer lining of your heart).

⭕️Alcohol and CV Risk: Both Beneficial and Harmful Effects?
The relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be more nuanced than previously thought, with evidence emerging that 🍷alcohol use may both increase and decrease the risk for CVD.

⭕️When Gastroscopy may become necessary❓
✔️If you experience persistent or unexplained abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing heartburn, or sudden unexpected weight loss – you should consult the doctor for a Gastroscopy.

✔️Another indication of needing a Gastroscopy is when there is a suspicion of bleeding in your upper digestive system due to vomiting blood or digested blood (which appears to look like coffee grounds) or black tarry stools. A Gastroscopy will likely stop the bleeding almost 90% of the time once its source is found.

✔️It is worth noting that Asians and men are more prone to developing stomach cancer. Early screening can help patients receive treatment at a stage where the disease is still fully curable. During this procedure, biopsies can be taken from any polyps or suspicious areas of the digestive tract for further laboratory testing.

📸 What are X-rays?
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light, but with a much higher energy level. They're a fantastic tool for seeing inside objects, especially our bodies. 💊💉

As a quick introduction, a gastroscopy is an examination of the oesophagus and the inside of the stomach using a flexible scope. On the other hand, a colonoscopy is an examination of the large intestine and colon using a flexible scope. Both procedures are usually performed under sedation and take approximately 30-60 minutes.

⭕️A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the heart arteries that supply blood to your heart. It could be used to diagnose the cause of chest pain and check your heart for various conditions. It is primarily used for detection of narrowing or obstruction of heart arteries (coronary heart disease) allowing for potentially corrective therapy to be done.

⭕️CT Coronary Angiography is highly recommended as it is very accurate in providing the anatomical information about your coronary arteries. It detects the abnormal narrowing (stenosis) of the coronary arteries ranges from no narrowing (0%), minimal narrowing (

⭕️A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

⭕️A CT scan has many uses, but it's particularly well-suited to quickly examine people who may have internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma. A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.
