Cardiology Tests

Your heart can be checked in more than one way.

Heart tests answer different questions. An ECG records the heart's electrical rhythm. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to show the heart moving. A treadmill test checks selected heart responses during exercise. Your doctor chooses the right test for you.
