The document discusses three common medical procedures used to examine the heart: Doppler ultrasound, cardiac scanning, and stress testing. Doppler ultrasound uses soundwaves to produce images and measures blood velocity to detect clots or blockages. Cardiac scanning injects radioactive thallium to visualize the heart and determine myocardial damage. Stress testing places patients on exercise equipment while monitoring their heart and oxygen levels to evaluate cardiovascular fitness.
