Mammography is a simple X-ray process. It passes low doses of X-rays through the breasts. No dyes have to be injected or swallowed, and no instruments will be put in your body.

Some growths are very small or lie deep in the breast tissue. These growths can be hard to detect. Some growths are benign (not cancer); others may be malignant (cancer). Mammography is a good way to find cancerous growths before they are large enough to be felt. When cancer is found in this early stage, it is easier to treat. Caught early enough, breast cancer often can be cured.

Preparations

• No special preparation is required for mammography.
• At Pulse, mammography is usually followed by a sono mammography which helps is providing a better diagnosis for the patient.
• We have female technicians who will be assisting you. Please carry your previous reports.

An electrocardiogram is a recording of the small electric waves being generated during heart activity. A normal heart beat is initiated by a small Pulse of electric current. This tiny electric "shock" spreads rapidly in the heart and makes the heart muscle contract. If the whole heart muscle contracted at the same time, there would be no pumping effect. Therefore the electric activity starts at the top of the heart and spreads down, and then up again, causing the heart muscle to contract in an optimal way for pumping blood.

Preparations

• No restrictions on food and liquid prior to test.
• All patients are advised to wear a two piece outfit for convenience.
• Please do not come in a one piece outfit or dress because electrodes need to be attached to the chest during the course of the test.
• Please bring along reports of a prior ECG (if done).
• It is advisable to report 10-15 minutes prior the appointment time in order to ensure that all procedures are carried out in a smooth, relaxed and unhurried manner.

Echocardiography is a diagnostic technique that can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart, its pumping strength, and the location and extent of any damage to its tissues. It is especially useful for assessing diseases of the heart valves. Echocardiography can reveal such abnormalities as poorly functioning heart valves or damage to the heart tissue from a past heart attack. However, a normal echocardiogram does not rule out the possibility of coronary heart disease.

Preparations

• No specific preparations are required.
• However please bring your recent previous reports, particularly those of ECG and Chest X-ray.
• It is advisable to be present 10 minutes before the appointed time.
• There are no clothing restrictions.

An exercise electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a test that checks for changes in your heart while you exercise. Sometimes EKG abnormalities can be seen only during exercise or while symptoms are present. This test is sometimes called a "stress test" or a "treadmill test."

Preparations

• It is necessary to ensure that there is no intake of food or liquids (except water) for 4 hours prior to the test. Smoking must also be avoided during this period of fasting.
• Comfortable clothing (shorts or pants with shirt or blouse) must be worn.
• You should report 10 minutes prior to your test to enable a smooth and relaxed procedure to take place.
• You must ask your doctor the following questions before reporting for the test:
  • If you are diabetic, how you need to adjust insulin and food intake prior to the test.
  • If you should take your regular medications on the morning of the test.
  • If you are on a beta blocker, whether or not you need to stop your regular medication 72 hours before the test.
• For males with a hairy chest, a shaving of the chest may be required for adequate contact of electrodes with the chest which ensures best results.
• For those adverse to walking barefoot on the treadmill, it is advised to bring along a pair of jogging shoes on the day of the test. However, this is not essential.
• You are advised not to apply lotions, oils or powder to the chest area.
• Please bring along details of any previous stress test to allow a comparison of reports.

Q. What is being tested?

A pulmonary function test (PFT) evaluates how well your lungs work. PFTs measure the amount of air in your lungs, how well the lungs move air in and out.

A respiratory therapist will guide you through each test in a special exam room that has all the lung function measuring devices. Most of the tests are quick, easy and painless, but be sure to tell the therapist if you feel light-headed, tired or uncomfortable.

How can I prepare?

Don't eat a heavy meal right before the test, and avoid caffeinated foods or drinks. Don't smoke or exercise strenuously for six hours before the test. On the day of the test, wear loose clothing that won't restrict your breathing, and wear dentures to the testing if you normally wear them. Finally, just relax, breathe easy and do your best.

Who Needs a Holter or Event Monitor?

Your doctor may recommend a Holter or event monitor if he or she thinks you have anarrhythmia. An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat.

Holter and event monitors most often are used to detect arrhythmias in people who have:

• Issues with fainting or feeling dizzy. A monitor might be used if causes other than a heart rhythm problem have been ruled out.
• Palpitations (pal-pih-TA-shuns) that recur with no known cause. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or fast. You may have these feelings in your chest, throat, or neck.

People who are being treated for heart rhythm problems also may need to use Holter or event monitors. The monitors can show how well their treatments are working. Heart rhythm problems may occur only during certain activities, such sleeping or physical exertion. Holter and event monitors record your heart rhythm while you do your normal daily routine. This allows your doctor to see how your heart responds to various activities.

Holter Monitors

Holter monitors record your heart rhythm continuously for 24 to 48 hours. A Holter monitor is about the size of a large deck of cards. You can clip it to a belt or carry it in a pocket. Wires connect the device to sensors (called electrodes) that are stuck to your chest using sticky patches. These sensors detect your heart's electrical signals, and the monitor records your heart rhythm.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain.

Preparations

• Shampoo hair before coming for EEG. Don't apply any oils or conditioners.
• Please carry previous reports when you come.
• Prior appointment is necessary.

An electromyogram (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals. Nerves control the muscles in the body by electrical signals (impulses), and these impulses make the muscles react in specific ways. Nerve and muscle disorders cause the muscles to react in abnormal ways.

Preparations

• Shampoo hair before coming for EEG. Don't apply any oils or conditioners.
• Please carry previous reports when you come.
• Prior appointment is necessary.
