ECG (Electrocardiogram)

An ECG is a simple, painless test that records the heart`s electrical activity. This test is used to help detect and locate the source of heart problems.

A technician attaches sticky patches, called electrodes, to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes are attached with wires to a machine that records your heart`s electrical signals.

An ECG shows how fast your heart is beating and whether its rhythm is steady or irregular. The test also shows where in your heart the electrical activity starts, and whether it`s traveling through your heart in a normal way.

An ECG also can detect previous heart injury and whether your heart muscle is getting enough oxygen. In case you have any previous heart attack or other cardiac event it would reflect in your ECG.

Blood Sugar Test

Glucometer is a medical device for to determine glucose in the blood. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and display blood glucose level in mg/dl. It is used for detection of diabetes & monitoring treatment objectives of diabetic patient

Neuropathy screening (Biothesiometry)

Biothesiometer

The Biothesiometer is an instrument designed to measure the threshold of perception of vibration in human subjects. Biothesiometer is used to identify peripheral sensory neuropathy and subjects at risk of foot ulcerations in diabetic patient. Diabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. People with diabetes can, over the time, develop nerve damage throughout the body. Some people with nerve damage have no symptoms. Others may have symptoms such as pain, tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, legs and feet.

Experts recommend that people with diabetes have a comprehensive foot exam every year to check for peripheral neuropathy. It is also recommended to assess the loss of vibration perception. One of the most common reasons for amputation in India is due to neuropathic ulcers.

Diabetics with neuropathy have seven fold increased risk of foot ulcerations. Diabetics are also exposed to 15 fold higher risk of amputation of lower extremities compared to the general population. Vibration perception has been shown to be strongly associated with foot ulceration. VPT determination by using a Biothesiometer has been used to identify peripheral sensory neuropathy and subjects at risk of foot ulcerations.
