Avatar f tn The ultrasound they would check size and stuff again. The stress test they check movements heart rate and bloodpressure to make sure baby isn't under stress.
Avatar n tn ve been told an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is not the proper test for assessing plaque of the coronary arteries. Is your doctor working with you to lower your cholesterol and triglycerides? Has he/she mentioned the need for a more thorough examination of your coronary arteries?
Avatar f tn Can any of you ladies that have done it please answer.. What do they do in this test and ultrasound?? I'm getting it today since I'm 40 weeks 6 days, just wondering what to expect. Also, have any of you had the stress test and the baby was stressed? What do they do??
Avatar f tn Last year when I noticed got worse I went to cardiologist for first time. She sent me for ultrasound, ECG, stress test , holter and blood work. My heart ultrasound I had to do two of them because it looks like one of my valves was not closing right buy just turned out to be "trial triscupid regurgitation and i think trival mitral regurgitation" but I was assured %90 of population has this it's fine. My ECG was normal but my Holter and stress test came back with PVC's.
Avatar f tn Don't know your medical issues but your age is an indication for twice weekly antenatal testing.
Avatar f tn Can anyone tell me what is the best test to show up any damage to the heart muscle and valves of the heart and placement of a hole in heart device ? Is it an utrasound or MRI?
Avatar f tn I posted up the heart beat gender test when the heart beat is low is a boy and high its a girl. but turns out this test may not always work (like any other gender test unless u get a ultrasound) because im having a girl and her heart beat is alwags low. what are you guys having boy or girl? and what's their heart beat rate?
Avatar f tn My due date was yesterday and im scheduled for an ultrasound and a non stress test tomorrow then induction thursday. But whats a non stress test and whats the purpose?
Avatar f tn At the time it was determined (after an ultrasound, 24 hr monitor and stress test) that these were symptoms of a healthy heart and benign, mainly originating from the right ventricle. Since then I started exercising a lot more and lost a significant amount of weight. Prior to my children being born I was exercising 5-6 times per week, often 1.5 hrs at a time and at quite high intensity.
Avatar f tn Had a ultrasound done today and they saw a dark spot in my baby heart and said it could be a sign of down syndrome!! I had the blood work done 2 weeks ago and they said I was negative for that now they tell me this.

Avatar f tn I went for my first ultrasound today. All went great. The baby has a heart rate of 172! His/her little heart was flying, aha. He/she wouldn't stop moving around. The ultrasound tech was like "if the baby would stop jumping around, we could get a picture." She takes after her daddy! Lol. They were supposed to do the Down Syndrome test today but they weren't able to due to the baby's position. I go back in two weeks for another ultrasound to test for Down Syndrome.
Avatar f tn I went to get an ultrasound last week to see the sex of my baby and see the growth of her. But they told me that she has a slightly rotated heart. What does that mean? I have to see another doctor to get a second opinion but should I be worried?
Avatar m tn I had an EKG and ultrasound of the heart today. Everything came back fine. My primary care physician is sending me for a cardiac stress test. I was debating on whether I should ask for a cardiopulmonary stress test instead. I have difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. Also, I have low blood oxygen (High Hemoglobin and High Hematocrit) and low carbon dioxide. I know the cardiopulmonary stress test measures gas exchange during exercise.
Avatar f tn Just looked at my first ultrasound and realized the heart rate was more like 170. Boys do run higher I've been told and it has been true for me and a few of my friends.
Avatar m tn An echo can also be done, this is useful as a test to look at the heart function side of things.The echo is an ultrasound test and is non invasive, but for checking for blockages, the Angio is best. For checking electrical activity of your heart, an ECG test is often carried out. This is often the initial test done.
Avatar f tn 21weeks, had second ultrasound, went to doctors a week later for results said everything was looking good but they detected that something was abornormal. Doctor said not to worry because genetic tests both came back normal? Of course going to worry, has this happened to anyone else? And have their babies came out fine? Worried ftm.
Avatar n tn Adenosine is the radioactive tracer that they inject into your artery for the nuclear stress test. This link explains the test very well: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/services/tests/nuclear/adenosine.aspx Good luck!
1343283 tn?1300898264 What exactly does a serum hcg blood test mean? this is the only blood work my doc ordered for now. is this the test that tells you the beta levels?
Avatar f tn My pregnancy is considered to be high-risk so I had my first ultrasound during my 5th week. I was blown-away to see my littles' heart beating so strong! 128 BPM!
Avatar f tn If u do a genetic blood test they can tell u your gender if the baby within a week
Avatar f tn Thanks ladies I had been in the hospital since Monday. I was released today they did the test cause baby heart rate was dropping every time I had an occasional contraction but she passed the test and I came home other wise they were going to deliver her.
Avatar f tn Just went through the same thing. I got the second ultrasound and the t21 blood test. My test came back negative and doc said the focus should fade on its own. I decided before my results that either way i was going to raise and love my daughter! Either way your baby is a gift..i know its nerve racking but just keep calm aand know many women have gone through the same experience.
