Ambulatory Heart Monitoring
Ambulatory heart monitoring records the rhythm during ordinary life, helping connect intermittent symptoms with what the heart is doing.
Cardiac Stress Testing
A stress test shows how the heart responds when it works harder. The right protocol depends on symptoms, mobility, ECG, and the question being asked.
Coronary Calcium Scoring
A coronary calcium score is a heart CT scan that measures calcium-containing plaque without an injection of contrast material. Learn what the score means, when it helps, and how Flow coordinates testing through an imaging center.
Coronary CT Angiography
Understand coronary CTA, how it differs from calcium scoring and stress testing, and what to discuss with your testing center before the scan.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a heart ultrasound that evaluates pumping function, valves, chambers, blood flow, and clues to pressure inside the heart.
PET/CT Cardiac Stress Testing
Learn how PET/CT stress testing evaluates blood flow to the heart, what to expect, and which preparation instructions to confirm with your testing center.
Tilt Table Testing
Tilt-table testing measures heart-rate and blood-pressure responses during a controlled change from lying down to upright positioning.
Vascular Ultrasound: Artery & Vein Testing
Vascular ultrasound uses sound waves to examine blood flow in your arteries and veins. Learn what artery, blood clot, vein valve, and carotid studies check.
Find your test
Learn what each test helps us understand. Dr. Patel recommends testing based on your symptoms, history, and the question that needs an answer.
Echocardiogram
An ultrasound picture of the heart. It checks pumping strength, valves, and heart chambers.

Checks how the heart responds when it works harder, using exercise or medication. The guide compares the different types.
Read the stress testing guidePET/CT cardiac stress testing
A scan that compares blood flow to the heart muscle at rest and during medication-induced stress. PET means positron emission tomography; CT means computed tomography.

Detailed CT pictures of the heart arteries using contrast through a vein. It helps evaluate plaque and narrowing. CTA means computed tomography angiography.

Records the heartbeat during daily life to look for rhythm changes and connect them with symptoms. Includes Holter and patch monitors.

Measures changes in heart rate and blood pressure as the table moves from lying down toward upright. It may help investigate fainting or symptoms when standing.

A CT scan without injected contrast that measures calcium in heart-artery plaque. It can help guide prevention decisions in selected patients.

Uses sound waves to examine arteries and veins. Different studies check for artery narrowing, blood clots, or backward flow through faulty vein valves.

A calcium score, coronary CTA, and stress test answer different questions. They are not interchangeable, and more testing is not always better.
Not sure which test you need?
You do not need to choose a test before your visit. We will review your concerns and prior results, then discuss whether testing would help.
