ECHO examination (Echocardiography)
Echocardiography (ECHO) is a non-invasive ultrasound examination of the heart that allows detailed monitoring of the structure and function of the heart chambers and valves. At our Vasmedic clinic, we use modern equipment and the experience of cardiologists to detect even hidden heart diseases in a timely manner.
What is ECHO and why is it important?
Echocardiography is an ultrasound examination of the heart that provides a real-time visual image of the heart chambers, valves, and blood flow. The doctor can see the heart in motion and can monitor its mechanics and performance.
With ECHO, we can determine:
- Detect congenital or acquired heart defects
- The size and shape of the heart
- Diagnose heart failure
- Evaluate the condition of the heart valves and walls
- Examine the function of the left and right ventricles
- Detect effusions, inflammation, or tumors around the heart
When is ECHO recommended?
Echocardiography is performed as part of a comprehensive cardiological examination or when there is suspicion of:
- Chest pain, palpitations or shortness of breath
- Heart failure
- High blood pressure or cardiac arrhythmia
- Suspected valvular disease
- Family history of heart disease
- After a heart attack or at risk of cardiovascular disease
