Echo (Echocardiography) near me in Raigad Maharashtra

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, as well as the flow of blood through the heart. It helps detect abnormalities such as valve disorders, heart muscle disease, fluid around the heart, and other structural issues. By capturing real-time images, echocardiography provides valuable 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. These echoes are captured by the transducer and converted into images by the computer, allowing doctors to analyze the heart's condition and make informed decisions about further treatment.
