Echocardiography

Types of Echocardiography We Offer:

• Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE):

  • Description: The most common type of echocardiogram, performed by placing a transducer on the chest. It provides detailed images of the heart chambers, valves, and blood flow.
  • Uses: Evaluates heart function, detects heart disease, assesses valve conditions, and monitors cardiac abnormalities.

• Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE):

  • Description: Involves inserting a specialized probe into the esophagus to get closer, clearer images of the heart. This method is used when more detailed images are needed.
  • Uses: Assesses complex heart conditions, evaluates heart valves and structures, and provides detailed information not possible with TTE.

• Stress Echocardiogram:

  • Description: Combines echocardiography with a physical stress test (treadmill or medication) to evaluate the heart’s performance under stress.
  • Uses: Diagnoses coronary artery disease, evaluates heart function during exercise, and assesses the heart’s response to stress.
    
    

Benefits of Echocardiography:

• Non-Invasive: Provides comprehensive heart imaging without the need for surgery or incisions.
• Real-Time Imaging: Offers immediate visualization of the heart’s structure and function, enabling quick diagnosis and treatment.
• Accurate Assessment: Helps in diagnosing heart conditions such as heart failure, valve disorders, and congenital heart defects.
