Diagnostic Tests
The team at Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute will work with you to accurately diagnose your condition. Diagnostic tests are a part of this process, and provide valuable information in assessing your health. With a more complete picture, we can then recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your unique needs.
You’ll benefit from not just one opinion, but a whole team of experts. Your new team works together to share their knowledge and expertise for your best possible health.
The following diagnostic tests may be used. Please click on the appropriate test to learn more about it, including how to prepare for the test.
Angiogram
Angiogram
This contrast X-ray procedure is considered the gold standard for diagnosing blockages in the arterial system to determine best treatment options.
Learn MoreAnkle-Brachial Index (ABI) Test
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Test
The noninvasive ABI test uses inflatable cuffs to check blood flow and blood pressure in the arteries of the thigh, calf, foot and toes.
Learn MoreCardioversion
Cardioversion
Cardioversion is a procedure to correct arrhythmias, or an irregular heartbeat, through use of medicine (chemical) or electric shocks (electrical).
Learn MoreComputed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Advanced CT and MRI imaging techniques provide a detailed 3D view to help determine the extent of vascular disease and how best to treat it.
Learn MoreCoronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
This advanced imaging technology uses FFR analysis of a CCTA scan to create a 3D model of coronary arteries to view narrowing or blockages.
Learn MoreDuplex Ultrasound
Duplex Ultrasound
Also known as a doppler test, this noninvasive procedure evaluates blood flow through the arteries and veins to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Learn MoreNuclear Exercise Stress Test
Nuclear Exercise Stress Test
Images of safe, radioactive tracers show blood flow to the heart muscle during exercise and rest to help find any blockage in arteries of the heart.
Learn MoreNuclear Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) Scan
Nuclear Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) Scan
A MUGA scan evaluates the pumping function of your heart by calculating how much blood is pumped from the heart with each heartbeat.
Learn MoreNuclear Pharmacological Stress Test
Nuclear Pharmacological Stress Test
This imaging test measures heart function at rest and under medication-induced stress to help identify any blockage in arteries of the heart.
Learn MoreNuclear Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Stress Test
Nuclear Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Stress Test
This stress test uses PET imaging to evaluate blood supply to the heart muscle during exercise and rest to help find any blockages in arteries.
Learn MoreTilt Table Test
Tilt Table Test
The tilt table test helps identify if an abnormal reflex in the nervous system is the cause of unexplained fainting spells.
Learn MoreTreadmill GXT Stress Test
Treadmill GXT Stress Test
This stress test evaluates heart function and blood supply to the heart muscle during periods of rest and while walking or jogging on a treadmill.
