It is also called a sphygmomanometer, measures arterial blood pressure non-invasively, typically displaying systolic (top number, during heartbeats) and diastolic (bottom number, between beats) values in mmHg. Common types include manual (with cuff, bulb, and stethoscope), digital automatic (upper-arm or wrist models), and ambulatory versions for 24-hour tracking.


It is a handheld medical instrument used to amplify internal body sounds for auscultation, aiding diagnosis of heart, lung, and digestive issues. It captures vibrations from organs and transmits them through tubing to the listener's ears.




It is a motorized exercise machine with a moving belt for walking or running in place, commonly used in medical stress testing to evaluate heart function under physical exertion.


It is a stationary exercise bike designed for medical stress testing, with adjustable resistance to precisely control workload and measure cardiovascular response.


This device measures blood sugar levels via test strips.


This medical device is used to evaluate blood clotting efficiency, helping diagnose bleeding disorders like hemophilia or monitor anticoagulant therapy such as warfarin use.


It is a compact, noninvasive medical device that clips onto a finger, toe, or earlobe to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It shines light through the skin to detect oxygenated versus deoxygenated hemoglobin levels.


It is a medical device that continuously tracks the heart's electrical activity, rhythm, and rate, often displaying ECG waveforms, heart rate, and alarms for irregularities.


It is often called an "echo" machine, uses ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart's structure and function. It's a non-invasive diagnostic tool that visualizes chambers, valves, walls, and blood flow without radiation.


It is a quick, noninvasive imaging test that uses low-dose ionizing radiation to create pictures of the chest, including the lungs, heart, ribs, and diaphragm.




It is the standard, non-invasive type of echocardiogram where an ultrasound probe is placed on the chest to generate images of the heart (TTE).


It is an invasive imaging test that uses ultrasound to create detailed pictures of the heart by inserting a probe through the mouth into the esophagus (TEE).


It is an advanced ultrasound technique integrated into standard echocardiography machines to assess blood flow velocity, direction, and turbulence within the heart and major vessels.


It is a diagnostic test that combines ultrasound imaging of the heart with controlled stress—via exercise or medication—to evaluate cardiac function under workload.


It is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed pictures of the heart's structure, function, and surrounding blood vessels. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, it avoids radiation exposure, making it safer for repeated use in monitoring conditions like heart disease.


It is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to produce detailed, 3D images of the heart, coronary arteries, and surrounding blood vessels. It often involves an IV contrast dye to highlight blood flow and plaque buildup, helping detect narrowed or blocked arteries that could lead to heart attacks.


It is a non-invasive imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) scanning combined with intravenous contrast dye to visualize the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. It helps detect narrowing, blockages, plaque buildup, or other abnormalities like stenosis that could indicate coronary artery disease (CAD).


This specialized X-ray imaging device features a rotating C-arm with an X-ray tube and digital detector, a movable patient table, contrast injector, and real-time monitors for fluoroscopy. It captures dynamic vessel images post-contrast injection, supporting 2D/3D reconstruction and interventions like stenting.


These are substances introduced into the body to enhance the visibility of specific structures or fluids during medical imaging procedures. They work by absorbing or altering X-rays, magnetic fields, ultrasound waves, or other energies, creating better contrast between tissues.




This analyzer is a medical device used to measure key parameters in a blood sample, primarily from arteries, to evaluate a patient's respiratory, metabolic, and oxygenation status.


These are proteins, enzymes, or other substances released into the bloodstream when heart muscle cells are damaged, stressed, or inflamed, serving as measurable indicators of cardiac injury.


This blood test measuring levels of troponin proteins (primarily troponin I or T), which are released into the bloodstream specifically from damaged heart muscle cells.


This testing measures levels of natriuretic peptides like BNP or NT-proBNP in the blood to assess heart stress or failure.


These portable devices are compact, wearable medical tools that record and transmit electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to monitor heart rhythms remotely or on-the-go.


These medical devices continuously track and display key physiological parameters to assess patient health in real-time. These devices alert healthcare providers to abnormalities through visual and audible alarms.


It is a system used in healthcare to continuously track patients' cardiac rhythms and vital signs remotely within a hospital setting. It transmits real-time data from portable devices on the patient to a central monitoring station, enabling early detection of arrhythmias or other abnormalities. Electrodes placed on the patient's chest connect to a small, wireless transmitter that sends ECG signals, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, and sometimes blood pressure data to nurses' stations. Alarms trigger for critical changes, allowing prompt intervention without constant bedside presence.


This blood test measures levels of fats (lipids) like cholesterol and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk. It provides key data on total cholesterol, LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol), and triglycerides, often calculated as ratios for better insight


This invasive cardiac procedure maps the heart's electrical activity to diagnose and treat arrhythmias. Thin catheters are inserted via veins (often in the groin or neck) into the heart to record signals and deliver small electrical impulses, simulating abnormal rhythms for analysis.
