FAQs About PFTs

Curious about what a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) is? Some of these FAQs might be able to help!

Home Sleep Testing

We provide an increasingly useful and accessible way to confirm OSA by measuring oxygen saturation, heart rate, air flow and effort while also recording details about snoring and position. This can be done in your home via a home based sleep test.

24 Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring

It is used to record blood pressure readings at specified times during a 24-hour period. An ambulatory blood pressure monitor is a non-invasive device that includes a special blood pressure cuff attached to a small monitor that you wear for 24 hours.

24 Hour Holter Monitoring

Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring is a continuous test to record your heart's rate and rhythm for 24 hours. You wear the Holter monitor as you go about your normal daily routine.

Echocardiograms

An echocardiogram uses sound waves (much like an ultrasound) to create a moving picture of the heart. The picture is much more detailed than an x-ray image and involves no radiation exposure.

Laboratory Sleep Testing

We provide a comprehensive approach to sleep disorder breathing. Our board certified sleep physicians and respiratory therapists work towards diagnosis, education, and lifestyle so that you can have effective treatment.
