Cardiac Diagnostics (ECG & PFT)
Cardiac Diagnostics (ECG & PFT) at Varad Diagnostic Center
At Varad Diagnostic Center, we offer advanced cardiac diagnostic tests, including Electrocardiography (ECG) and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT), to assess heart and lung health. Under the expert supervision of Dr. Amol Abasaheb Khodade, our center ensures accurate and timely diagnosis for early detection and effective management of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.
ECG (Electrocardiography) – Heart Health Assessment
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a simple, quick, and non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It helps in detecting abnormalities related to heart rhythm and function.
When is an ECG Recommended?
✔ Chest pain or discomfort – Evaluates possible heart attacks or angina.
✔ Irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) – Detects abnormal heart rhythms.
✔ Shortness of breath or dizziness – Assesses heart function.
✔ High blood pressure or diabetes – Monitors heart health in high-risk patients.
✔ Preoperative heart check-up – Required before surgeries.
How is ECG Performed?
- Electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to record heart activity.
- The test takes only a few minutes and is completely painless.
- The results help doctors detect heart conditions, blockages, or electrical abnormalities.
Advantages of ECG at Varad Diagnostic Center:
✔ Quick, non-invasive, and painless procedure.
✔ Accurate detection of heart rhythm and abnormalities.
✔ Immediate results for timely medical decisions.
PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) – Lung Function Assessment
A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures how well your lungs work, assessing airflow, lung capacity, and oxygen exchange. It helps diagnose and monitor lung diseases and respiratory conditions.
When is a PFT Recommended?
✔ Chronic cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath.
✔ Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) diagnosis and management.
✔ Lung infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis.
✔ Preoperative lung function evaluation.
✔ Occupational lung disease assessment for people exposed to pollutants.
How is PFT Performed?
- The patient breathes into a spirometer, which records lung function data.
- The test is non-invasive, simple, and takes about 15-20 minutes.
- It helps measure lung volume, airflow, and gas exchange efficiency.
Advantages of PFT at Varad Diagnostic Center:
✔ Early detection of lung disorders for better treatment outcomes.
✔ Accurate and reliable testing with modern spirometry devices.
✔ Essential for asthma and COPD management.
