Echocardiography (Heart Ultrasound) at Aminci Hospital

Welcome to Aminci Hospital, where we offer advanced echocardiography services to help diagnose and monitor various heart conditions. Echocardiography, also known as a heart ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. Our team of experienced cardiologists and technicians are dedicated to providing accurate and timely echocardiography services to our patients.

What is Echocardiography?

Echocardiography is a painless procedure that allows our healthcare providers to visualize the heart in real-time. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of heart conditions, including:

• Heart valve diseases
• Cardiomyopathy
• Congenital heart defects
• Pericardial diseases
• Cardiac tumors

During an echocardiogram, a transducer is placed on the chest to send and receive sound waves that create images of the heart's chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels. These images help our cardiologists assess the heart's overall function and detect any abnormalities.

Types of Echocardiography

At Aminci Hospital, we offer several types of echocardiography, including:

• Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE): This is the most common type of echocardiogram and is performed by placing the transducer on the chest wall to obtain images of the heart.
• Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE): In this procedure, a specialized transducer is passed down the esophagus to obtain clearer images of the heart structures.
• Stress Echocardiography: This test involves exercising or using medication to stress the heart while performing echocardiography to assess heart function under different conditions.
