BREAKING DOWN ALL THINGS HEART HEALTH IN HAMDEN, CT

Take Care of your Heart

You would be surprised by just how many people don’t take care of their heart as much as they should. In fact, it’s something that you should take very seriously. That’s what we’ll do with you here at Patience Choice Medical Care in Hamden, CT. We will not only run cardiovascular tests to see how your heart is doing, but we’ll also help educate you on what you can do to take proper care of your heart. 

Echocardiogram Test

When it comes to testing, there’s all sorts of different types of diagnostic tests we’ll want to run. One of the most important tests is the echocardiogram test. The echocardiogram test will determine how your heart is running via different ultrasound waves. This is used both for the initial diagnosis, as well as monitoring a pre-exisiting heart disease you might have.

 

EKG TEST


Similarly,  if you're experiencing heart issues, another diagnostic test we might want to run would be an EKG test. This test will also allow us to monitor your heart, and check for any signs of disease. It measures all of the electrical signals that are in your heart. Irregular EKG results will tell us if there's something we need to be made aware of.


We’ll also give you tips after running the tests, including ways to lower your cholesterol, some healthier foods you should be eating, how you can manage high blood pressure, and some different exercise activities that might help. Just because we notice a potential area of concern doesn’t mean it’s too late to change. You should always strive to take better care of yourself. We’re just here to help you get on the right track!
