Holter Monitoring for Good Heath!

Cardiology transcription is specialized branch of medical transcription that deals with creation, transfer and storage of vascular health records of the patients. When a patient visits hospital or healthcare facility, the doctor, after proper diagnosis, dictates all observations and records them in a recording device. This recorded voice is sent to a technician at United Cardiac Services, who converts it into a computer text file.

 

The medical tchnicians at United Cardiac Services are extremely well versed in cardiac terminology and have good knowledge about the cardiovascular system of the body so that they can easily understand the dictation and convert it into an error free, electronic text for you. When it comes to cardiology transcription, following types of medical reports are generally, transcribed:

 

 

• MUGA scan - It is known as Multi Gated Acquisition Scan and uses a radioactive marker to study the cardiac cycle of the patient in form of images taken from a gamma camera.
• Echocardiogram - Sonar technology is used to create real time three or two dimensional images of the heart to study cardiovascular diseases.
• Ultrasound Imaging - Ultrasound waves are used to create the images of heart and blood vessels to study cardiovascular diseases.
• Cardiac Stress test- The cardiac pumping capacity and flow of arterial blood to the heart is noted during a treadmill test.
• Holter Monitoring - The electrical signals from the heart are continuously noted through series of electrodes placed on the chest. This is used to observe the heart condition, when round-the-clock monitoring is necessary.
• Carotid Duplex - Ultrasound waves are used to study blood flow through Carotid arteries and check for blood clots, blockages or built up plaque, inside the artery.
• Pacemaker Evaluations - The pacemaker evaluation is done to know about the effect of the pacemaker to correct slow or fast heartbeat and as an aid to the heart after cardiac operation.
