Understanding Echo (Echocardiography) in New Delhi

What is Echo (Echocardiography) in New Delhi?

The Echo (Echocardiography) is a noninvasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the heart and its blood vessels. It helps diagnose various heart conditions by visualizing the heart’s structures and blood flow, guiding treatment decisions. It is available at an affordable price near you in New Delhi with our partnered labs.

The test is often recommended when symptoms such as unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or palpitations occur. It is also used to monitor individuals with known heart conditions, evaluate the treatment response, or check for complications post-surgery. The test also assesses heart function following a heart attack or surgery.

Before the test, remove any metal objects that can interfere with the electrodes. Inform the doctor or technician if a pacemaker or other implanted cardiac devices are present in the body.

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.
