Cardiologists can check a person’s heart and monitor its activity using several different tests and procedures. This may include: Echocardiogram — Using sound waves to produce images of the heart, an echocardiogram allows physicians to see how a person’s heart is beating and how blood is moving through their heart. Images from an echocardiogram are used to identify various abnormalities in the heart muscle and valve, such as heart murmurs and heart valve dysfunction. Electrocardiogram (EKG) — This common diagnostic test measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat to provide two kinds of information: electrical activity and enlarged or overworked parts of the heart. An EKG is often performed to monitor changes in heart rhythm, determine whether a heart attack has occurred, or help predict if a heart attack is developing.   Call us to book an appointment with our cardiologist, or visit our clinic conveniently located at 4330 Maple Road, Buffalo, NY 14226.
