During physical exertion, echocardiography stress tests are essential diagnostic tools used to assess cardiac function and detect abnormalities in heart function and blood flow. Cardiologists use this procedure to assess heart health, especially in patients with suspected coronary artery disease or abnormal heart rhythms. DPC ensures seamless coordination, personalized care, and optimal recovery strategies for patients undergoing echocardiography stress tests.
Initial Assessment and Referral:
An initial assessment of the patient's cardiac health and medical history is conducted by DPC before the echocardiography stress test begins. Upon completion of the evaluation, DPC may refer patients to cardiologists or cardiovascular specialists for further evaluation and an echocardiography stress test to be scheduled.
Coordination of Care:
DPC coordinates care between the patient and the cardiology team, ensuring timely scheduling of echocardiography stress tests and clear communication regarding instructions and expectations prior to the test. In addition to facilitating referrals, scheduling appointments, and answering patients' questions and concerns, this also involves addressing any patient concerns or questions.
