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.
