Diagnostic procedures

At Juaneda Hospitals and its associated centres, our cardiology team is trained to perform a series of diagnostic procedures to assess cardiac performance and function, and to detect any problematic conditions or heart disease.

Two-dimensional echocardiogram - colour and 2D Doppler: A painless, non-invasive test that uses ultrasound to create images of the heart and blood vessels. It provides a real-time view of the heart. It is a tool for monitoring and follow-up of operated patients.

Electrocardiogram: A simple, painless procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. Useful for finding and monitoring various heart diseases such as arrhythmias, heart damage or heart failure.

Ergometry: Consists of performing physical exercise on a treadmill for diagnostic purposes. It has the capacity to reveal cardiovascular alterations that are not present while the patient is at rest.

Holter: Diagnostic technique characterised by recording heart rhythm alterations from 24 to 48 hours in order to collect real and complete data from the patient for subsequent visualisation and analysis.
