Health Checkup& Tests

That CouldSave Your

Life

2D Echo Cardiography

2D Echo cardiography is an imaging

technique

Helps to provide images of the

heart, vessels & para cardiac

structures

2D Echo cardiography helps to

measure each part of the heart

2D Echo cardiography also helps to study

the motion & appearance if the valves of

the heart

2D Echo cardiography helps to

determine overall health of the heart &

detect if any abnormalities are present

ECGElectrocardiogram is also known

as EKG or ECG

Help to check the electrical activity of the

heart

Helps to identify the cause of the chest pain

ECG helps to find the symptoms of the

heart disease like shortness of breath

& irregular heart beats

ECG helps to check if the mechanical

device like a pacemaker is placed

properly in the heart

ECG helps to identify the health of the

heart when even other diseases are

present simultaneously

Pulmonary Function Test Pulmonary function test is actually a

breathing test

It helps to identify the air the

movement from in & out of the

lungs

It helps to confirm how freely oxygen enters the body

The most common Pulmonary

function test is spirometry

Pulmonary function test helps to

identify problems like COPD &

Asthma

Pulmonary function test helps to

identify the overall health of the lungs

Bone Density Scan Bone density scan is also known as

bone mineral density test

Bone density scan help to identify

the strength of the bone

Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bones become weak & pores

Bone density scan helps to identify

the current status of the bone post

treatment for osteoporosis

The result of bone density scan

can help to treat & prevent bone

loss & fractures

Blood Pressure Check

The only way ensure that you have

normal blood pressure is by going

for a blood pressure check

Sphygmomanometer is an instrument

that measure the blood pressure

If the systolic pressure is less than

140 mm Hg while the diastolic

pressure is less than 90 mm Hg then

it is called as normal blood pressure

If the blood pressure is greater than

140/90 mm Hg then it as called

as high blood pressure.

Mammogram Mammogram is imaging technique

Mammogram is the X-ray of the breast

Mammogram helps to detect

the breast cancer at an early

stage

There are 2 types of Mammogram

Screening Mammogram: used to

detect the signs of breast cancer

in women who do not have any

symptoms or problems

Diagnostic Mammogram: used when

Screening For Stroke

Stroke happens when there is a damage to

blood vessels & artery is clogged with

Other things that contribute to the formation

of cholesterol-filled plaque are diabetes,

high blood pressure & high cholesterol levels

Thus blood test to keep these in control &

to avoid Stroke is important

Pap Smear Pap smear is a test for cervical

cancer

Cells are tested from

the opening of the

cervix

Most of the cervical cancer

can be detected early if a

women undergoes routine

pap smear test

If the result is normal that

means that there are no

abnormal cells present

PSA

PSA means prostate-specific antigen

Prostate-specific antigen is

produced by the prostate gland

High levels of prostate-specific

antigen indicates prostate cancer

A blood test to identify the levels of

the prostate-specific antigen is done

to detect prostate cancer

PSA levels under 4 ng/mL is normal

Advanced Lipid Profile Tests

Advanced lipid profile test is used as

a part of assessment for cardiac risk

Advanced lipid profile test will

help to identify the individual risk to

heart diseases

Advanced lipid profile test is a blood

test that measures:

Total Cholesterol

HDL cholesterol

LDL cholesterol

Triglycerides

VLDL cholesterol

Blood Glucose Test

Blood glucose test is done to detect

the sugar levels in the blood

Blood glucose test is very crucial for

a person suffering from diabetes

Haemoglobin A1c Test : is a blood test to

identify the average blood sugar levels

in

the past 3 months

TSH

Thyroid Stimulating hormone (TSH) test is
