Echocardiography
Echocardiography is the use of ultrasound waves to produce an image of the heart's structure and turns electrical energy into sound waves, which enables us to view images for analysis. Echocardiography is primarily used to evaluate cardiac valve abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, effects from hypertension, heart attach damage or scarring, pericardia! disease and congenital heart defects.
Stress Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart structure, size and movement during rest and during stress when your heart is beating at a maximum point. Electrodes are placed on the chest to monitor the heart's rate and rhythm throughout the test.
