What isCardiac ultrasound?
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a test that uses ultrasound waves to visualize the structure of the heart.
The ultrasound probe can first generate high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear. The sound waves pass through the chest wall into the body, detect the position of the heart, and are then received by the probe after reflection. The signal is reorganized by a computer and turned into an image to evaluate the heart function and whether it is functioning normally. Ultrasonic cardiography can be used to obtain real-time images, clearly understand whether the overall contraction of the heart is normal, and can also determine the stenosis or reflux caused by valvular disease, as well as whether there is water accumulation in the pericardium in case of pericarditis, etc. It can also measure blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, helping to diagnose a variety of heart and lung diseases.
Cardiac ultrasound examination is harmless, painless, convenient and safe to patients, but it also has its limitations. For example, ultrasound cardiogram can only show the local structure of the heart, and the coronary artery cannot be displayed on the computer screen. More tests are needed for diagnosis.
