Cardiology Tests & Prices in Bangladesh
Showing all available tests in this category.
The Cardiology Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) diseases. It deals with conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, hypertension, and congenital heart disorders.
<p>Common cardiology tests include the ECG (a quick electrical reading of your heartbeat), Echocardiogram (ultrasound imaging of the heart's structure and pumping function), Troponin (a blood marker for heart attack), and Lipid Profile (cholesterol levels tied to long-term heart disease risk). A Holter monitor records heart rhythm continuously over 24–48 hours to catch irregular beats that a single ECG might miss.</p><p>Doctors typically recommend cardiology screening for anyone with high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of heart disease, or symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath — and as routine screening after age 40-45 even without symptoms. Most cardiology tests need no special preparation, though your doctor may ask you to avoid caffeine or strenuous activity for a few hours before an ECG or stress test.</p>
<p>Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose are often ordered alongside cardiology tests since high cholesterol and diabetes are major risk factors for heart disease — many diagnostic centers in Bangladesh offer these as a combined heart health package at a lower combined price than booking separately. If you've never had a baseline ECG or Echo, getting one done now gives your doctor a reference point to compare against if symptoms develop later, which can make diagnosis faster.</p>
<p>When choosing a hospital for cardiology testing, an Echocardiogram in particular is highly dependent on the skill of the person performing it — look for centers with a qualified cardiologist or sonographer rather than choosing on price alone for this specific test. ECG and basic blood tests are far more standardized and consistent across centers, so price comparison matters more there.</p>
