Many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions can affect the heart and lungs. In-office diagnostic testing allows us to monitor these systems, identify complications early, and support comprehensive care.
An EKG is a quick, non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It helps identify abnormal heart rhythms and other cardiac concerns.
Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to record the heart’s electrical activity. The test is painless and typically takes only a few minutes.
Pulmonary Function Testing is a non-invasive breathing test used to evaluate how well the lungs are functioning. It measures lung capacity, airflow, and overall respiratory performance.
Patients breathe into specialized equipment that measures lung function. The test is safe, painless, and typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes.
Your provider may recommend EKG or Pulmonary Function Testing if you are experiencing symptoms affecting your heart or lungs, have an autoimmune condition that may impact these organs, or require ongoing monitoring as part of your treatment plan.
