Echocardiography

Echocardiography, often called an “echo,” is a non-invasive, diagnostic imaging test that uses ultrasound waves to capture real-time images of the heart’s structure and function. It provides valuable insights into heart health by assessing the chambers, valves, and blood flow, helping in early diagnosis and management of heart conditions.

Types of Echocardiography

  1. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE): This standard echo method involves placing a transducer on the chest to capture heart images. TTE is commonly used to assess the heart’s size, shape, and pumping efficiency.
  2. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE): For clearer, more detailed images, especially of the back of the heart, TEE uses a probe inserted down the esophagus.
  3. Stress Echocardiography: Conducted during or after physical exertion, this test evaluates heart function under stress, identifying potential coronary artery disease.
  4. Doppler Echocardiography: This method assesses blood flow and pressure within the heart, providing information on conditions like heart valve disease.

Benefits of Echocardiography
Echocardiography is safe, painless, and highly effective in detecting various cardiac abnormalities, including congenital heart disease, heart valve disorders, and heart failure. Its non-invasive nature makes it a convenient choice for regular cardiac evaluations.
