Understanding Echo (Echocardiography)

The Echo (Echocardiography) examines the structure and working of the heart to determine the overall function of the heart, examine the impact of heart diseases, and assist doctors in treatment strategies. During Echo, a clear gel is applied on the chest by a healthcare professional. A hand-held device (transducer) is used to send and receive sound waves, which creates pictures of the heart and structures related to the heart on a screen. Examining these images, doctors are able to detect and track various cardiac conditions. These may include heart valve disorders, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and pericardial effusions.

The test is often advised when symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, abnormal heartbeats, or palpitations appear. It also tracks people who have a known heart condition, observes the response to treatment, or examines for complications after surgery. The test also examines heart functioning after a heart attack or surgery.

Remove any metal devices on the body that could affect the electrodes for the echo test. Inform the doctor or technician if there is a pacemaker or other implanted cardiac devices in the body. Wearing comfortable clothing with easy access to the chest region and not applying oils, lotions, or creams on the chest region on test day are recommended. Also, do not drink excessive amounts of caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) prior to the test.

Interpretation of Echo (Echocardiography) results requires professional expertise. Therefore, it is essential to consult the doctor to understand the implications of the Echo (Echocardiography) findings.

What does Echo (Echocardiography) measure?

The Echo (Echocardiography) is a radiology procedure utilizing ultrasound technology to visualize the heart and related structures. It helps in evaluating the overall function of the heart. The test measures the size, shape, and motion of the heart's chambers and valves and blood circulation through the heart. It assists in the identification of abnormalities such as disorders of the valves, heart muscle disease, fluid around the heart, and other structural problems. By capturing real time images of the heart, echo gives insights into the heart's overall health and helps doctors formulate effective treatment plans.

The machine for the echo test contains a computer console, video monitor, and a handheld transducer. The transducer is positioned on the chest, and the ultrasound waves move through the body, reflecting from the heart tissues. The echoes are picked up by the transducer and translated into images by the computer, enabling doctors to diagnose heart disorders.
