Echocardiography Test

Echocardiography is a test that uses sound waves to produce live images of your heart. The image is an echocardiogram. This test allows your doctor to monitor how your heart and its valves are functioning. It is key in determining the health of the heart muscle, especially after a heart attack.

• Transthoracic echocardiogram
• Transesophageal echocardiogram
• Stress echocardiogram
• Doppler echocardiogram

Echocardiography is a scan that uses sound waves to produce live images of your heart. An echocardiogram is described as ultrasound of our heart. This test allows your doctor to gather how your heart and its valves are functioning. It is key factor in determining the health of the heart muscle, especially after an incidence of heart attack.

Types of Echo Scan

Transthoracic echocardiogram

TTE for our heart is most common kind of imaging method. Transthoracic echocardiogram assesses the structure and functioning of our heart, transducer sends the ultrasound sound waves through the skin, it pick-ups & send the reflected waves (where the waves echo off the heart structure) to the computer.

Transesophageal echocardiogram

TEE is performed with a tube down (attached to a transducer) in our esophagus unlike the standard transthoracic echocardiography. Our esophagus is very close to our heart, and with the help of transesophageal echocardiography very clear images of the chambers and valves can be obtained

Stress echocardiogram

Stress echo ascertain how well your heart work under the stress, A stimulate generates the stressful environment with in the heart. Stress Echocardiogram is suggested for chest pain, heart attack, and coronary artery disease.

Doppler echocardiogram

Doppler method of echocardiography is used to detect the abnormal blood flow in our heart. It may be recommended for patient with atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease (blockage in heart). Identification of abnormalities is helpful in determining future treatment.

What happens during an echocardiogram test?

An echocardiogram uses sound waves (ultrasound of heart) to create images of your heart. This common method allows your doctor to see your heart beating and pumping blood. Your doctor can use the images from an echocardiogram to identify heart diseases & conditions.
Depending on what information your doctor needs, you may have one or several types of echocardiograms. Some type of echocardiogram involves few, if any, risks.

How to prepare for an echocardiogram?

Preparation for echocardiography depends on the type of test you are undergoing. No special preparations are necessary for traditional transthoracic echocardiogram (non-invasive method), similarly for a doppler echocardiogram.
When a standard transthoracic echocardiogram doesn’t yield a clear image, a transesophageal echocardiogram is suggested, where you should avoid eating or drinking certain hours before the exam to prevent vomiting.
Smoking, and consuming caffeinated drinks should be avoided prior the day of exam. If you are taking any medications, inform the physician for specific instructions on medicating the day before the test.
After the test you may feel unsteady due to sedative, therefore you should ask someone to be with you for the procedure.

2D & 3D Echocardiography

2D and 3D echocardiography are quick, painless, and non-invasive procedures. 3D captures the image of our heart structure in greater depth. 2D & 3D echo imaging is particularly helpful in diagnosing heart conditions in details for better management.
