FAQs

  • A cardiac ultrasound test that checks the structure and function of the heart muscle, valves, and chambers. A hand-held wand is placed on the chest and high-frequency sound waves are used to create 2D diagnostic images. Doppler and Color Doppler are also used to evaluate blood flow across the heart valves.

  • A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is what we offer at EIS and can take 40-60 minutes. The length of the echo test can vary depending on the quality of images and degree of findings.

  • Many patients refer to an echocardiogram as an "echo" and this test is used to visualize the heart in real-time. Moving 2D images of the heart are taken to assess the overall structure and function. This is a non-invasive test that is readily available and affordable.

    An electrocardiogram (EKG) is used to assess the heart's electrical activity and is not a form of imaging. An EKG produces a graph that displays the heart rate and rhythm.

  • Providers often order a transthoracic echocardiogram to diagnose, prevent, and monitor cardiovascular disease. This test is also common for pre-operative clearance.

    Some common reasons for routine echocardiograms are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart murmur, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or previous heart attacks.

  • There is generally no preparation needed for an echocardiogram. Patients can eat, drink, and take their medications before the test.

    You will be asked to remove your clothing from the waste up and put on a hospital gown. Three electrodes will be placed on the chest and you will be lying on your left side for a majority of the echo. A small amount of gel will be put at the end of the transducer and the probe will be placed on different areas of the chest to acquire images.

    The sonographer may have you hold your breath to improve the quality of the ultrasound images. The only discomfort may be from the pressure of the probe on your chest.

  • A heart murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow and is often heard with a stethoscope. A leak in one of the valves, called regurgitation, can cause a murmur but this can be a harmless diagnosis and doesn't always require treatment.

    Another common cause for a heart murmur may be calcium deposits on a valve that restricts flow, called stenosis.

    Abnormal communications between the chambers and growths on the valve are less likely diagnoses.

    Echocardiography allows us to visualize the heart valves and diagnose any abnormalities such as regurgitation,
