Advanced Cardiac Testing
Our advanced cardiac evaluations are non-invasive and tailored to help detect hidden heart issues early—before symptoms arise.
ADVANCED CARDIAC TESTING
Echocardiography
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your heart, allowing specialists to assess its size, shape, pumping efficiency, and valve health. Echocardiograms are designed to identify issues such as adverse cardiac effects of high blood pressure, evidence of prior heart attacks, and diseases or degeneration of the heart valves. The procedure is quick, painless, and may use a contrast agent for clearer imaging.
Duration: 30 – 45 minutes
ADVANCED CARDIAC TESTING
Cardiac Stress Test
Cardiac stress testing evaluates your heart’s performance during physical exercise: running on a treadmill. This test is combined with stress echocardiography to provide multiple, non-invasive modalities to screen for coronary artery blockage, electrical abnormalities, and structural concerns that may occur under stress.
ADVANCED CARDIAC TESTING
Holter Monitor Test
A Holter monitor continuously records your heart’s electrical activity for 48–72 hours, capturing rhythms missed by a standard ECG. Worn comfortably during daily activities and sleep, it helps detect irregular heartbeats and provides valuable insights into your heart’s function in real-world situations.
24-Hour Blood Pressure Tracking
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) tracks your blood pressure over 24 hours, capturing daily and nighttime fluctuations. Worn on your arm, it helps detect hidden hypertension and assess treatment effectiveness.
ADVANCED CARDIAC TESTING
12- Lead ECG
A 12-Lead ECG evaluates your heart’s electrical activity at rest using electrodes placed on your chest, arms, and legs. The quick, painless procedure records electrical impulses, helping detect arrhythmias and other risks for early intervention.

Why Cardiac Testing Matters
Cardiovascular disease is more preventable and detectable than most other chronic diseases and represents a major cause of premature death and loss of function.
At Almira, we employ advanced cardiac testing to better inform preventative health recommendations and to help you protect your heart’s health and function for the long-term.
