Echocardiography

An important diagnostic procedure that captures the electrical activity of the heart is an electrocardiogram, sometimes known as an EKG or ECG. This non-invasive, rapid, and painless treatment aids in the detection of possible heart disorders as well as heart problems and anomalies in heart rhythms. In preventive cardiology, an ECG is frequently the initial step in assessing heart health.

Why is Echocardiography Performed?

An ECG is recommended if you experience symptoms such as:

Echocardiography is used to diagnose and monitor various heart conditions, including:
Heart Valve Diseases – Detects abnormalities in heart valves such asstenosis or regurgitation.
Heart Failure – Assesses heartpumping efficiency and detects any enlargement of the heart.
Congenital Heart Defects – Identifies birth-related heart defects inchildren and adults.
Blood Clots or Tumors – Helps indetecting masses or abnormal growths inside the heart.
Pericardial Disease – Evaluatesthe condition of the sac surrounding the heart.

Types of Echocardiography

Transthoracic
Echocardiography (TTE): The most common type, where a probe is placed onthe chest to capture heart images.
Transesophageal Echocardiography(TEE): A detailed imaging test where a probe is inserted through the esophagus for a clearer view of heart structures.
Stress Echocardiography:
Performed before and after exercise or medication to assess how the heart responds to stress
