A transthoracic echocardiography, performed using our state-of-the-art GE and Philips ultrasound machines, is an advanced procedure that provides invaluable information about the health and functionality of your heart. These cutting-edge technologies allow us to effectively assess your heart’s structure, including the performance of the heart muscles and valves, along with its size and shape.
During the procedure, you’ll be comfortably positioned on your left side as our expert sonographer captures high-definition images of your heart by moving the ultrasound probe across your chest. As the probe emits sound waves into your chest and collects their echoes, it generates precise and clear images that offer a comprehensive understanding of your heart’s function and structure.
Throughout the examination, which typically lasts between 20-30 minutes, the sonographer may provide specific breathing instructions to further enhance the image quality. This non-invasive test is a crucial component of our commitment to providing top-tier, efficient cardiac care, enabled by the latest in medical technology.
