Echocardiography Services at Crossmeds Diagnostics

At Crossmeds Diagnostics, our Echocardiography services provide detailed and accurate imaging of the heart to help diagnose and manage a range of cardiovascular conditions. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our expert team delivers high-quality echocardiograms to ensure comprehensive heart health evaluations.

What is Echocardiography?

Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create real-time images of the heart. It allows us to assess the heart’s structure, function, and blood flow, providing crucial information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

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.
