Echocardiography

Echocardiography

An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to produce moving images of the heart, showing the chambers, valves, and pumping strength without radiation.

When It Is Typically Used

• Heart Disease Screening — Echo helps evaluate symptoms such as shortness of breath or palpitations.
• High Blood Pressure Treatment — Long-standing hypertension can thicken the heart muscle over time.
• Diabetes Care — Diabetes raises cardiovascular risk, making heart assessment part of ongoing care.

Working Alongside Other On-Site Services

Echo findings are reviewed with EKG results and blood pressure monitoring for a complete cardiac picture.

What to Expect

You lie on your side while a probe is moved across the chest. The study is painless and takes roughly half an hour.
