Cardiovascular Cartography is a modern advanced technology for the assessment of blood vessels and cardiovascular functions. This non-invasive, 3D diagnostic method is used to detect coronary diseases at any stage. It is also one of the most efficient methods of coronary diagnosis made possible only through modern technological advancement in the healthcare sector.

How Does Cartography Work?

Cartography is used to measure the blood flow to various areas of the heart. Depending on the amount of blood flow, the conclusion is derived about the health of the blood vessels, blockages, the capacity of the heart to pump blood and also the narrowness or hardness of the vessels.

What Does Cartography Test Include?

3D Cardiovascular Cartography is a painless, non-invasive diagnostic method which doesn't require you to stay at the clinic. The technology used in this test is called Trans-Aortic Signal Wave Modulation (TASWM) and is considered one of the most advanced tests in assessing cardiovascular health.

The test consists of two steps. The first step is similar to that of ECG during which, disposable electrodes are attached to the patient's chest on specified locations which connect to four electrodes generating signals. A 150 KHz signal passes through these electrodes, traveling along the Aorta, the largest blood vessel in the chest cavity and is modulated by the flow of blood, breathing activity as well as electrical and mechanical activity. The signal is then picked up by the measuring electrodes and demodulated. The data received is measured and analyzed using advanced mathematical and simulation tools, and the accurate result is obtained.

The test eventually determines the following factors:

• Cardiac output of your heart: The amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute
• Systemic vascular resistance: The resistance against which the heart has to pump the blood
• Stroke Volume: The volume of blood the heart is pumping during every heartbeat
• Ejection Fraction: The volumetric proportion of blood ejected from the heart with each heartbeat

Why Do Cartography?

Following are the exclusive benefits Cartography offers:

• Safe, non-invasive & painless
• No hospitalization
• Time & cost efficient (The test itself takes 15-20 minutes)
• Detects even 20% of the blockage
• Early detection of cardiovascular anomalies
• No anesthesia or radiation required
• Not mentally or physically strenuous
• No after-effects
• Easily repeatable unlike invasive cardiac tests
• A detailed assessment of the functional status of heart
