Echocardiograms

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram uses high-frequency ultrasound to examine the heart. This test is capable of displaying a cross-sectional "slice" of the beating heart including the chambers, valves, and major blood vessels that exit from the right and left ventricle.

Images of the heart are acquired to evaluate the size, wall thickness, and movement of heart structures (chambers, valves, etc).  Echocardiography can also assess fluid build-up around the heart, blood clots or tumors within the heart, and active infection of the heart valves.

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive and painless procedure. Sticky patches or electrodes are attached to your chest and shoulders. These help to record the EKG during the test. A small amount of gel is applied to the chest and a small transducer (similar to a microphone) takes images of the heart from different angles.
