- Resting ECG. Measures the baseline heart rhythm and electrical activity while at rest.
- Stress ECG. Evaluates how the heart functions under physical strain.
- 24-hour monitoring. Includes long-term ECG and blood pressure profiles to track changes throughout the day.

- Stress echocardiography. Provides heart imaging specifically while the organ is under load.
- Vascular ultrasound. Examines the condition and flow of the blood vessels.
