Understanding Echo (Echocardiography) in Greater Noida

What is Echo (Echocardiography) in Greater Noida?

The Echo (Echocardiography) is a non-invasive, 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 Greater Noida 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 your doctor or technician if you have a pacemaker or other implanted cardiac devices.

What does Echo (Echocardiography) measure?

The Echo (Echocardiography) is a radiology test that uses ultrasound technology to visualize the heart and its associated structures and help assess the overall functioning of the heart. This test measures the size, shape, and movement of the heart chambers and valves and blood flow through the heart. It helps detect abnormalities like valve disorders, heart muscle disease, fluid around the heart, and other structural issues. By capturing real-time images, echocardiography provides information about the heart's overall health and guides appropriate care strategies.

The echocardiography machine consists of a computer console, a video monitor, and a handheld transducer. The transducer is placed on the chest, and the ultrasound waves travel through the body, reflecting off the heart tissues. The transducer captures these echoes and converts them into images by the computer, allowing doctors to analyze the heart's condition and make informed decisions about further treatment.
