Echocardiogram
Description
-
An echocardiogram uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create a picture of your heart.
- The recorded waves show the shape, texture and movement of your heart valves, as well as the size of your heart chambers and how well they are working. Echocardiography is painless; the test usually takes less than an hour to do.
-
Soft, sticky patches called electrodes will be attached to your chest to allow an EKG (electrocardiogram) to be done. A doctor or sonographer (a person specially trained to do ultrasounds) will apply gel to your chest. The gel helps the sound waves reach your heart.
- A wand-like device called a transducer will then be moved around on your chest. The transducer transmits ultrasound waves into your chest.
- A computer will convert echoes from the sound waves into pictures of your heart on a screen.
