Echocardiography (Echo)
Seeing Your Heart in Motion.
Ultrasound imaging of the heart
An Ultrasound View of the Working Heart
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to show the heart as it beats — the chambers, the valves and the strength of each contraction. Unlike an ECG, which records electrical activity, an echo shows structure and movement, making it the test of choice when a murmur, heart failure or valve disease is suspected.
Echo is safe, involves no radiation, and can be repeated as often as needed. Our Echocardiography service focuses on:
Structural Detail
Clear views of the heart chambers, walls and valves.
Functional Measurement
Assessment of how effectively the heart is pumping.
Safe and Repeatable
No radiation, so the study can be repeated to follow a condition over time.
Our Echocardiography Services Include:
Transthoracic Echocardiogram
The standard scan, taken through the chest wall with no discomfort.
Heart Function Assessment
Measurement of pumping strength to support the diagnosis of heart failure.
Valve Assessment
Evaluation of narrowed or leaking heart valves and the murmurs they cause.
Follow-Up Imaging
Repeat studies that track a known cardiac condition over months or years.
Structure, Not Just Rhythm
Where an ECG reports the heart's electrical rhythm, echocardiography shows the organ itself at work — and the two together give our physicians a far fuller picture than either alone.
