Facilities

All Your Heart Needs at One Place

2D ECHO (Heart Scan)

2D Echo known as 2D Echocardiography is a non-invasive investigation used to evaluate the function and to detect structural heart defect. Dr. Prem Alva has performed more than 80,000 2D Echos on new born babies, infants and children.

ECG

ECG or Electrocardiogram is a test that measures any abnormality or problems in the electrical activity of your heartbeat. This test can be done in less than 10 minutes. An electrical impulse (or “wave”) travels through your heart, which causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart.

CHEST X-RAY

An X-ray exam helps doctors diagnose and treat medical conditions. Chest X-rays are a common type of exam. A chest X-ray is often among the first procedures you’ll have if your doctor suspects heart or lung disease. A chest X-ray can also be used to check how you are responding to treatment.
