About this service
Understanding this service
Cardiac investigations assess the electrical activity, structure and function of the heart. A physician chooses the test based on symptoms and the clinical question.
When it may be needed
ECG records heart rhythm; echocardiography uses ultrasound to assess pumping and structure. Additional investigations may be needed depending on the case.
Before visiting
Bring previous ECG, echo and prescriptions. If severe chest pain or breathlessness is occurring now, seek emergency assessment instead of waiting for a routine test.
