Transthoracic Echocardiography (ECHO)
Echocardiography is the study of the structure and performance of the heart using sound waves (ultrasound). It does not involve radiation, no medication is used during the procedure and can be performed on anyone, including pregnant women and newborn babies. A device that sends sound waves called a probe, on which a water-based gel with insulating properties is applied, is held by the doctor in various positions in the chest area to visualize the heart. All structural diseases of the heart (heart failure, valvular heart disease, intracardiac masses, clots, congenital heart abnormalities) and diseases of the aortic artery are diagnosed by echocardiography.
