Echocardiography (Echocardiography)

Echocardiography is the use of ultrasound waves to study and monitor heart function. Used for diagnosing and identifying congenital and acquired heart diseases; is a completely safe, painless and affordable research method, eliminating the need for cardiac catheterization. In M-mode echocardiography, a single pulse of ultrasound is used during the examination. The resulting image is not anatomical, but it allows you to accurately determine the size of the heart and diagnose damage to the heart valves, as well as diseases of the myocardium and pericardium. Cross-section echocardiography (two-dimensional echocardiography or real-time echocardiography) uses multiple ultrasound pulses to produce tomographic images (see Tomography) that the doctor can use to clearly see the structure of the heart. In Doppler echocardiography (Dopplcr echocardiography), ultrasound is reflected from moving red blood cells in accordance with the Doppler effect (a change in the frequency of ultrasound waves observed with the relative movement of the radiation source and receiver); This type of echocardiography is used to determine blood flow and pressure inside the heart and major blood vessels. It is also used to diagnose heart valve lesions and determine the location of intracardiac bypass.

An echocardiogram (EchoCG) is a non-invasive method of examining the heart that allows you to evaluate its size, structure and function. The study is carried out using a special device - an ultrasound scanner operating on the basis of the Doppler effect.

How is the research going?

The procedure is performed with the patient lying down

Echocardiography is the use of ultrasound waves to study the function of the heart, which can be detected and observed above the heart. At the same time, possible heart diseases and defects, congenital or acquired at different times, are being studied. Among the advantages of the study are its absolute safety, painlessness, accessibility and the ability to eliminate the need for a cardiac catheter.

In M-mode (one-time ultrasound request is applied). What is being studied will not have a strict form. Will
