Best Echocardiography Centre for High Quality Test & Quick Report in Kolkata – Accuhealth Diagnostics

An echocardiogram or an echocardiography test is a graphic outline of the movements of the heart. During an echocardiography test, ultrasound or high-frequency sound waves from a hand-held wand is placed on your chest. This process provides pictures of the heart’s valves and chambers. It helps the sonographer and eventually your doctor to evaluate the pumping action of the heart. An echo test is often combined with color Doppler and Doppler ultrasound test in order to evaluate blood flow across the valves of the heart.

Why is an echocardiogram or an echocardiography test performed?

The test is used to:

• Determine the presence of many types of heart disease, like myocardial disease, valve disease, pericardial disease, infective endocarditis, cardiac masses and congenital heart disease
• Monitor the progress of any valve disease over a particular time period
• Evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatments or your medical surgeries
