Echocardiography: A Detailed Look at Your Heart’s Health

An Echocardiogram (or “Echo”) is a sophisticated, non-invasive ultrasound that creates a dynamic, moving picture of your heart. This powerful diagnostic tool is essential for our cardiologists to assess your heart’s health with remarkable precision.

An Echocardiogram Allows Us To:

• Assess Heart Function: Evaluate how effectively your heart is pumping blood.

• Examine Heart Valves: Detect leaks, blockages, or other abnormalities.

• Identify Structural Issues: Measure the size and thickness of the heart’s chambers and walls.

• Diagnose & Monitor Conditions: A key tool for diagnosing and managing conditions like heart failure, valve disease, and congenital heart defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is ultrasound imaging safe for me and my baby?
   Yes, ultrasound is an extremely safe procedure. It uses sound waves, not radiation, to create images and has been used safely in medicine for decades.

2. What is the difference between 3D and 4D ultrasound?
   A 3D ultrasound creates a static, three-dimensional picture of your baby. A 4D ultrasound adds the element of time, creating a live, moving video. It’s like the difference between a photograph and a movie.

3. How should I prepare for my appointment?
   Preparation can vary. For some scans, you may be asked to have a full bladder. Our scheduling team will provide you with specific, easy-to-follow instructions when you book your appointment.
