Cardiac Imaging and Testing Methods

The video tutorial by Divya on Physio Guide covers various diagnostic tests and procedures in cardiology. It explains angiocardiography, arteriography, cardiac catheterization, lipoprotein testing, ABG test, cardiac MRI, PET scan, CKMB, echocardiography, ECG, MRA, MPI, phlebography, and stress testing. Each section details the purpose, process, and significance of these tests in diagnosing and treating heart-related conditions.

What is the primary purpose of angiocardiography?

• To monitor heart rate

• To measure blood pressure

• To visualize heart chambers and vessels

• To test cholesterol levels

Which test is used to evaluate cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood?

• PET scan

• ABG test

• Lipoprotein testing

• Cardiac catheterization

What does a cardiac MRI primarily help visualize?

• Blood pressure

• Cholesterol levels

• Heart rate

• Soft tissues of the heart

What is the main advantage of a PET scan over an MRI?

• It requires no radioactive substances

• It is more effective in analyzing blood flow

• It provides better visualization of soft tissues

• It is less expensive

Which test uses ultrasound to detect heart function?

• Echocardiography

• ECG test

• Cardiac MRI

• PET scan

What does an ECG test primarily record?

• Cholesterol levels

• Blood flow

• Heart muscle thickness

• Electrical activity of the heart

What is the purpose of magnetic resonance angiography?

• To monitor cholesterol

• To visualize blood vessels

• To measure heart rate

• To test blood sugar levels

What is myocardial perfusion imaging used for?

• To measure blood pressure

• To monitor heart rate

• To visualize heart muscle

• To test cholesterol levels

Which test is used to record venous pulses in the leg?

• Echocardiography

• Phlebography

• PET scan

• Cardiac MRI

What is the main goal of stress testing?

• To visualize heart chambers

• To test blood sugar levels

• To measure cholesterol levels

• To determine heart reactions to physical stress
