Non-invasive Investigations

Non-Invasive Cardiology investigations are so called because they are painless and involve no needles! These tests are commonly requested by Cardiologists when investigating your heart. Wessex Cardiology provides a number of non-invasive cardiac investigations including exercise ECG testing, echocardiography, Holter ECG monitoring, cardiomemo recording and Holter blood pressure monitoring. These investigations may be recommended following a consultation with one of our Cardiologists or may be booked separately if required. All investigations are available by contacting Wessex Cardiology and all investigations are reported by one of our consultant cardiologists.

Resting ECG

A Resting Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test used to record the electrical activity of your heart while you are at rest. It is one of the most commonly performed cardiac investigations and provides valuable information about your heart's rhythm, rate and overall electrical function.

Echocardiogram

An Echocardiogram, often referred to as an "Echo", is an ultrasound scan of the heart that allows your cardiologist to assess its structure and function in real time.

ECG monitors

ECG monitoring allows your heart rhythm to be recorded continuously over an extended period, helping to identify rhythm disturbances that may not be detected during a standard ECG performed in the clinic.

Blood pressure monitor

A 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitor provides a more accurate picture of your blood pressure throughout your normal daily activities and while you sleep.

Exercise Treadmill Test

An Exercise Treadmill Test (ETT), also known as an Exercise ECG or Stress Test, assesses how your heart responds to physical activity.
