Echo Cardiogram
An Echo Cardiogram, commonly known as an Echocardiogram or 2D Echo, is a crucial, non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create live images of the heart. At Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital, our echocardiography services are conducted using advanced imaging equipment and interpreted by highly trained cardiologists.
This test allows for a detailed evaluation of the heart’s structure and function. It shows the size and shape of the heart, the condition of its chambers and valves, and how efficiently it pumps blood. It can also detect fluid accumulation around the heart, blood clots, congenital defects, and signs of heart failure or valve disorders.
An Echo Cardiogram is often advised for patients presenting with chest pain, breathlessness, heart murmurs, high blood pressure, or a history of heart disease. It is also vital for monitoring chronic cardiac conditions and assessing the heart’s recovery post-surgery or after cardiac events like a heart attack.
At our hospital, the procedure is done in a comfortable and patient-friendly setting. It takes around 20 to 30 minutes and is completely safe, involving no radiation. Real-time images help our cardiologists make accurate diagnoses and create effective treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
We believe in empowering patients with early detection and accurate diagnostics. With our state-of-the-art Echo Cardiogram facility, Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital continues to set benchmarks in rural cardiac care by delivering world-class services at accessible rates.
