Echo

Echocardiography, commonly known as “Echo,” is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. Our clinic offers diagnostic services with Echo to help detect heart problems and monitor the heart’s function.

During an Echo, a small transducer is placed on the chest, which sends high-frequency sound waves through the chest wall to the heart. The sound waves bounce back to the transducer, which converts them into images that can be viewed on a monitor. The test typically takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.

Echo is a safe and effective way to evaluate the heart’s structure and function. It can help detect heart problems, such as heart valve disease, heart muscle disease, and fluid around the heart, that may not be apparent during a physical exam or other diagnostic tests. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious complications, such as heart failure and stroke.

Before the Echo, our medical team will conduct a thorough medical history and physical examination to ensure that the test is safe for you. You will be asked to lie down on a table, and a small transducer will be placed on your chest. You may be asked to change positions during the test to obtain different images of the heart.

After the test, our team will review the results and provide you with a detailed report. If any abnormalities are detected, we will recommend further diagnostic tests and treatment options.

At our clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality diagnostic services with Echo to help our patients maintain a healthy heart and prevent cardiovascular disease. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for an Echo test.
