We provide various services to patients in Paramus, NJ, such as electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and Holter monitoring.
Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram, or EKG, is a vital tool used by doctors to evaluate patients during their visit. This test is commonly performed on adults, but it can be done to children as well. Since it is less common, it is often perceived as scarier. However, EKGs are crucial for pediatric patients that may be experiencing changes in the electrical activity of their heart.
Echocardiogram
Echocardiograms use sound waves to generate images of your heart. This machine is commonly used for pediatric patients when ruling out the possibility of heart disease. It’s also used to monitor the hearts of patients who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions. An echocardiogram can be done to fetuses, newborns, toddlers, young children, and adolescents of all ages.
Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitoring device is used by your doctor to monitor and record the electrical activity of your child’s heart, or their EKG. This recording is done over a 24-hour period when the machine will be continuously active to detect abnormalities like arrhythmias or ischemia. It doesn’t involve any pain, and your child can do everything they would normally do, like play, go to school, and sleep.
You can visit our office if you have concerns about your child’s heart and would like the opinion of a medical expert near you.
