We provide a wide range of heart tests and scans at Antrim Area Hospital and Causeway Hospital. These help doctors diagnose heart conditions and decide on the most suitable treatment.
Tests available at both hospitals include:
- Exercise stress test (walking on a treadmill to check your heart)
- Heart rhythm monitoring
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Echocardiogram (ultrasound scan of the heart)
- Cardiac CT scan
Additional tests available at Antrim Area Hospital:
- More detailed heart scans (including transthoracic and trans-oesophageal echocardiography)
- Cardiac MRI scan
- Myocardial perfusion imaging (a scan to check blood flow to the heart)
Our cardiac physiologists also run specialist clinics to check pacemakers and other implanted heart devices.
