Cardiac Stress Test

A cardiac stress test is a test used in medicine and cardiology to measure the heart’s ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment. The stress response is induced by exercise. At REMD, we perform a cardiac exercise stress test (EST) in the comfort of our private clinic Monday to Friday by appointment only. The test is supervised by an Emergency doctor and results are read by Cardiologist.

Cardiac Holter Monitor

A Cardiac Holter Monitor is a device used in medicine and Cardiology to record the heart’s electrical activity over a period of 24, 48 hours. At REMD, we install a Philips Digitrak XT Holter recorder which gives us 3channels of data including an EASI 12lead ECG and ST segment measurements. The recording is then interpreted by a Registered Cardiology Technologist to evaluate and define heart rhythm, rate and any ECG abnormalities. A final report is then confirmed by a Cardiologist.

Electrocardiogram

REMD can perform an Electrocardiogram in the comfort of our clinic. We offer cardiology testing, Electrocardiogram at rest and even a Cardiac Stress test.

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG*) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. We place electrodes placed on the skin to detect the tiny electrical changes that arise from the heart muscle’s action during each heartbeat. It is a very commonly performed cardiology test.
