What procedure is used to look at the action of heart valves?
The best procedure to visualize the heart valves and how they are functioning is a Cardiac Catheterization. Very simply, and under no anesthesia, an IV catheter is threaded into the heart so the heart and all it's structures and functions can be visualized and assessed. The patient is awake the whole time, and can see their own heart on the monitor!
What do ECG waves represent in the context of cardiac health?
ECG waves represent the electrical activity of the heart, showing how it beats and functions. They can help diagnose heart conditions and monitor cardiac health.

What tools does a cardologist use?
A cardiologist uses a variety of tools to diagnose and treat heart conditions. Common tools include electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs) to monitor heart rhythms, echocardiograms for imaging the heart's structure and function, and stress tests to evaluate heart health during physical activity. They may also use cardiac catheterization for detailed examination of coronary arteries and blood flow. Additionally, non-invasive imaging techniques like CT and MRI scans can aid in assessment and diagnosis.

What could be wrong if your 71-year-old dad's heart starts to beat 130 per minute and his blood pressure drops to 90-50 and this has happened twice in the last month?
Intermittent or recurrent sudden increases in heart rate, with a drop in blood pressure, suggest possible supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, or some other cardiac dysrhythmia. The sudden increase can be caused by medications(stimulants), stress, or an underlying abnormality of the heart. A elderly patient experiencing this with a drop in blood pressure most likely has some type of underlying cardiac disease, such as coronary artery disease (hardening of the arteries of the heart)that has not been detected or diagnosed yet. The patient should be seen by their physician or a cardiologist. The testing that may be performed include an laboratory studies, EKG, holter monitor, echocardiogram, stress testing, and possibly cardiac catheterization. I have no doubt your father is being treated for his heart problems. It is extremely important he works closely with the family doctor and also the Cardiologist. If you have a good Cardiologist then phone him/her and let them know what is going on. 71 isn't all that old.

the cardiac electrocardiogram (EKG) tracing. Additional monitoring components allow cardiovascular pressures and cardiac output to be monitored

What does it mean when you're weak and your heart is racing?
It's called a cardiac palpitation and can be indicative of a variety of electroconduction problems in your cardiac (heart) conduction systems. Chances are its nothing to be worried about, but you should definitely schedule a meeting with a doctor and get referred to a cardiologist to see if you can get tested via ekg or a holter monitor to try and see what is going on: especially if you are pregnant as your categories suggest.
