An Echocardiogram is a non-invasive medical test that employs ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. This diagnostic tool provides real-time visualization of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow, aiding in the assessment of cardiac health. Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as heart valve disorders, heart failure, and congenital heart defects. It offers valuable insights into cardiac anatomy and helps healthcare professionals formulate precise treatment plans. With no radiation exposure, Echocardiograms are widely used for assessing cardiac function, guiding interventions, and monitoring patients across various cardiological specialties.

For transesophageal Echo tests, sedation is often provided to make the procedure more comfortable. The level of sedation will vary depending on the individual case and the healthcare provider's recommendation.
This test can be performed on individuals of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. The type and approach of the test may change depending on the age of the patient and the purpose.
You will lie on an examination table while a technician or doctor moves the wand over your chest. You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath briefly. The procedure is painless and non-invasive.
A transthoracic Echo is performed by placing the wand on the chest, while a transesophageal Echo involves inserting a probe into the esophagus for a closer view of the heart. Transesophageal Echo provides more detailed images but requires sedation.
