BONUS FOR 60 DAYS
2 DAYS STRIKE ON 12-02-2014 AND 13-02-2014
NET BONUS PAYABLE TO ALL GDS AND REGULAR EMPLOYEES=RS.6863/ 7 tests to diagnose heart diseases
With an increase in diseases related to lifestyle, patients are quite often made to undergo tests that are unnecessary. TOI speaks to specialists to list out conditions in which certain tests to diagnose heart risk should be done or avoided.
1.Blood test:- It’s the simplest tool to screen a patient for blood parameters such as lipid level and cholesterol that increase heart risk. Cost Rs. 1,000- Rs. 2,000.
2.Electrocardiogram:-It
checks heart’s electrical system and rhythm. Finds out if chest pain is
caused by a heart attack or angina. Rs . 300- 500. Patients who are
asymptomatic and do not have an emergency condition should be fi rst
screened for blood parameters and ECG rather than putting them through
costlier tests.
3.Echocardiogram:-Helps
check heart’s pumping efficiency and functioning of the valve. It is
reasonable for heart risk assessment in asymptomatic adults with
hypertension or diabetes. It is not recommended for asymptomatic adults
without the conditions Rs. 1,500- Rs. 2,000.
4.Exercise stress test:-It
is a screening tool used to test the effect of exercise on the heart.
Doctors often combine it with regular ECG monitoring to follow
electrical activity of the heart during the test for better results.
Cardiologists say this is the most cost-effective test to assess heart
risk in patients who come with unexplained chest pain or breathing
difficulty. It does not involve exposure to any radiation.
5.Thalium stress test:-It
is a nuclear imaging method that shows how well blood flows into the
heart muscle, both at rest and during activity. It involves injecting
radioactive isotope. Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 15,000.
6.CT Angiogram:-It
is a non-invasive technique that uses X-rays to provide detailed
pictures of the heart and the blood vessels that go to heart, lung,
kidneys and other organs. It can show whether a blood vessel is blocked,
where the blockage is, and how big the blockage is Rs. 12,000 to Rs.
15,000 The test is costly and exposes a patient to radiation. Doctors
advise it should not be used in cases where initial tests such blood
parameters or exercise stress test show heart risk.
7.Coronary Angiography:-It
is an invasive technique that uses a special dye (contrast material)
and x-rays to see how blood flows through the arteries in your heart.
Though costly, angiography is one of the most definite tests to rule out
heart disease Rs. 16,000 to Rs. 20,000. It is one the costliest
diagnostic tools with radiation exposure. It should be used with caution
and never as the primary tool to detect heart risk unless the person
has suffered from heart attack or preliminary tests show vulnerability
for the same.
