Ambulatory electrocardiography
Ambulatory electrocardiography (AECG) records the heart's electrical activity over hours to years while patients follow their usual routines, using portable devices such as Holter monitors to detect intermittent arrhythmias.
Articular Arthrometry
Articular arthrometry, also called articular goniometry, is the measurement of joint range of motion with an arthrometer, used to quantify ligamentous laxity and stability, notably after ACL reconstruction surgery.
Cardiopulmonary exercise test
The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) measures oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, ventilation, ECG, and blood pressure during exercise, and is the gold standard for evaluating causes of exercise intolerance.
Computer-aided diagnosis
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is software that analyzes medical images or patient data to detect and characterize disease, with the final decision made by the radiologist or physician.
Ergometry
Ergometry is a diagnostic method measuring cardiopulmonary responses during controlled exercise on a treadmill or bicycle ergometer, used to diagnose coronary artery disease and prescribe exercise training.
High-frequency audiometry
High-frequency audiometry, also called extended high-frequency (EHF) audiometry, is a diagnostic hearing test measuring the quietest audible tones above 8 kHz, up to 20 kHz.
Impedance cardiography
Impedance cardiography, also called thoracic electrical bioimpedance, is a noninvasive method that estimates stroke volume, cardiac output, and related hemodynamic parameters from changes in the electrical impedance of the chest.
Nitrogen washout
Nitrogen washout is a pulmonary function test in which the subject breathes pure oxygen so exhaled nitrogen yields lung volume and the lung clearance index, used to detect early small-airways disease and monitor cystic fibrosis.
Sleep apnea testing
Sleep apnea testing is the set of diagnostic procedures, chiefly in-laboratory polysomnography and home sleep apnea testing, used to detect obstructive and central sleep apnea by recording airflow, effort, and oxygen saturation.
ST2-IPF trial
ST2-IPF: sit-to-stand exercise testing in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, anchored by trial NCT03268915 (3-minute test reproducibility, Grenoble/Lyon) and validation studies comparing 1-min, 3-min, and 5-repetition protocols with the 6-minute walk test.
Stress electrocardiography
Stress electrocardiography, or exercise ECG testing, records a continuous electrocardiogram during treadmill or cycle exercise to detect myocardial ischemia and assess prognosis in known or suspected coronary artery disease.
Substance abuse detection
Substance abuse detection, also called drug abuse screening, is the set of clinical methods for identifying drug or alcohol misuse through questionnaires, laboratory testing, and electronic health record analysis.
Treadmill exercise test
A treadmill exercise test is a cardiology procedure monitoring ECG, blood pressure, and heart rate during graded treadmill walking, chiefly to detect myocardial ischemia in coronary artery disease.
Video EEG monitoring
Video EEG monitoring records scalp brain activity with continuously synchronized video so behavior can be matched to brain activity, the gold standard for diagnosing epilepsy and seizure-like spells.
Videocapillaroscopy
Videocapillaroscopy, also called nailfold videocapillaroscopy, is a diagnostic imaging method that couples an optical microscope to a video camera to visualize fingernail fold capillaries in connective tissue diseases.
Work Capacity Evaluation
Work capacity evaluation, also called functional capacity evaluation (FCE), assesses physiological and functional capacities against job demands via graded work tests; used for return-to-work, disability, and medico-legal decisions.
