Our center delivers a wide range of echocardiogram services, from basic to advanced, synergizing insight into heart health for patients of diverse age groups. Echocardiography is a safe, non-invasive, and highly informative imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. Using cutting-edge technology and experienced personnel, we provide the exact echocardiogram needed to measure the progress of each patient. Here’s a look at the types of echocardiograms we provide and how they contribute to comprehensive heart health care.
- 2D and 3D Echocardiograms
Our 2D and 3D echocardiograms give us the ability to provide highly detailed images of the heart structure. The 2D echocardiogram, usually called a standard echo, provides two-dimensional images of the heart, and enables physicians to see the chambers, valves, and major blood vessels. This method is ideal for the examination of basic heart anatomy and the diagnosis of problems such as heart enlargement, valve abnormalities, or fluid accumulation around the heart.
The 3D echocardiogram is the one that gets one step beyond, giving the three-dimensional imaging, thus, more portrayals of the heart structure. This is especially useful for heart problems that are complicated, as it lets the doctor look not only at the outer structure of the heart but also at the inside of it. 3D echo is an indispensable tool in the assessment of congenital heart defects, structural abnormalities, and intricate valve conditions.
- Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram
A Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram is a test that is meant to measure how well the heart works when there is stress. In this test, the drug Dobutamine, instead of physical exercises, is used to get the heart to start and play the role of exercise. Thus, it is a very effective technique for those who cannot do traditional exercise stress tests. This test is of great importance for diagnosing coronary artery disease and heart muscle strength and checking how successful the previous treatments are. At the end of the Dobutamine stress echo, the doctor gets the needed data to determine the most effective treatment and to minimize possible heart problems in the future.
- Tissue Doppler Echocardiogram
Tissue Doppler Echocardiography is an advanced technique that measures the velocity of the heart muscle’s movement. This helps evaluate heart muscle function more accurately, making it a critical tool for diagnosing and managing conditions such as heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and certain types of valve disease. By focusing on the motion of the heart’s walls, tissue Doppler provides valuable information on the heart’s pumping ability and overall function.
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
A Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) is a specific test in which a very thin probe goes through the esophagus in order to take images of the heart at closer proximity to the organ. Probing uses the probe to produce more definite images of visible heart parts, which include the back of the heart, that often are difficult to see with usual echocardiography. In addition to blood clots and infections, it can also identify abnormalities of the heart valves. It is most frequently employed during the pre-operational stages of the procedure and in critical patients.
- Pediatric Echocardiogram
Children and infants with suspected heart conditions require special imaging suited to their age and size. We offer pediatric echocardiogram services that are noninvasive and child-friendly for the smallest patients, targeting congenital heart defects as well as any possible heart function problems. Pediatric echocardiography is a very safe and non-invasive procedure. It enables doctors to check the heart’s health at an early stage and provide the necessary interventions as soon as possible.
