This document discusses various health checkup tests that can help detect life-threatening conditions. It describes 2D echocardiography which uses imaging to examine the heart and detect any abnormalities. An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) checks the heart's electrical activity and can find symptoms of heart disease. A pulmonary function test evaluates lung health and ability to intake oxygen through spirometry. Other tests discussed include bone density scans, blood pressure checks, mammograms, screening for stroke, Pap smears, PSA tests, lipid profiles, blood glucose tests, and thyroid function tests. Regular checkups can help catch health issues early through these important medical screening tests.

1. Health Checkup
& Tests
That Could
Save Your
Life

2. 2D Echo Cardiography
 2D Echo cardiography is an imaging
technique
 Helps to provide images of the
heart, vessels & para cardiac
structures
 2D Echo cardiography helps to
measure each part of the heart
 2D Echo cardiography also helps to study
the motion & appearance if the valves of
the heart
 2D Echo cardiography helps to
determine overall health of the heart &
detect if any abnormalities are present

3. ECG
Electrocardiogram is also known
as EKG or ECG
 Help to check the electrical activity of the
heart
 Helps to identify the cause of the chest pain
 ECG helps to find the symptoms of the
heart disease like shortness of breath
& irregular heart beats
 ECG helps to check if the mechanical
device like a pacemaker is placed
properly in the heart
 ECG helps to identify the health of the
heart when even other diseases are
present simultaneously

4. Pulmonary Function Test
 Pulmonary function test is actually a
breathing test
 It helps to identify the air the
movement from in & out of the
lungs
 It helps to confirm how freely
oxygen enters the body
 The most common Pulmonary
function test is spirometry
 Pulmonary function test helps to
identify problems like COPD &
Asthma
 Pulmonary function test helps to
identify the overall health of the lungs

5. Bone Density Scan
 Bone density scan is also known as
bone mineral density test
 Bone density scan help to identify
the strength of the bone
 Osteoporosis is a medical condition
in which bones become weak &
pores
 Bone density scan helps to identify
the current status of the bone post
treatment for osteoporosis
 The result of bone density scan
can help to treat & prevent bone
loss & fractures

6. Blood Pressure Check
 The only way ensure that you have
normal blood pressure is by going
for a blood pressure check
 Sphygmomanometer is an
instrument
that measure the blood pressure
 If the systolic pressure is less than
140 mm Hg while the diastolic
pressure is less than 90 mm Hg then
it is called as normal blood pressure
 If the blood pressure is greater than
140/90 mm Hg then it as called
as high blood pressure.

7. Mammogram
 Mammogram is imaging technique
 Mammogram is the X-ray of the
breast
 Mammogram helps to detect
the breast cancer at an early
stage
 There are 2 types of
Mammogram
 Screening Mammogram: used to
detect the signs of breast cancer
in women who do not have any
symptoms or problems
 Diagnostic Mammogram: used when
a women has a breast problem

8. Screening For Stroke
 Stroke happens when there is a damage to
blood vessels & artery is clogged with
plaque
 Carotid ultrasound test helps to detect the
level of cholesterol-filled plaque in the
carotid arteries
 Other things that contribute to the formation
of cholesterol-filled plaque are diabetes,
high blood pressure & high cholesterol levels
 Thus blood test to keep these in control &
to avoid Stroke is important

9. Pap Smear
 Pap smear is a test for cervical
cancer
 Cells are tested from
the opening of the
cervix
 Most of the cervical cancer
can be detected early if a
women undergoes routine
pap smear test
 If the result is normal that
means that there are no
abnormal cells present

10. PSA
 PSA means prostate-specific antigen
 Prostate-specific antigen is
produced by the prostate gland
 High levels of prostate-specific
antigen indicates prostate cancer
 A blood test to identify the levels of
the prostate-specific antigen is done
to detect prostate cancer
 PSA levels under 4 ng/mL is normal

11. Advanced Lipid Profile Tests
 Advanced lipid profile test is used as
a part of assessment for cardiac risk
 Advanced lipid profile test will
help to identify the individual risk to
heart diseases
 Advanced lipid profile test is a blood
test that measures:
 Total Cholesterol
 HDL cholesterol
 LDL cholesterol
 Triglycerides
 VLDL cholesterol

12. Blood Glucose Test
 Blood glucose test is done to detect
the sugar levels in the blood
 Blood glucose test is very crucial for
a person suffering from diabetes
 Haemoglobin A1c Test : is a blood test to
identify the average blood sugar levels
in
the past 3 months

13. TSH
 Thyroid Stimulating hormone (TSH) test is
a blood test to identify the problem with
the thyroid gland
 TSH causes thyroid gland to make
2 hormones viz., T3 & T4
 T3 & T4 controls body’s metabolism
