Heart echo Warsaw
Not all cardiac problems produce clear symptoms. The heart may work less efficiently and changes in its structure may develop gradually, without clear alarm signals. A heart echo allows you to see how the organ functions „from the inside” and assess its performance in real time.
Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to image the heart. This makes it possible to assess its size, contractility, valve function and blood flow. It is one of the key tests in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
Heart echo
When does a doctor order a heart echo?
Cardiac echo is performed in many clinical situations. The examination is sometimes recommended for dyspnoea, chest pain, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias or chronic fatigue of unclear cause. It is also often part of the follow-up in patients with known heart disease.
Echocardiography is also helpful in assessing the effects of past infections, monitoring treatment and prevention in people with a heavy family history. It allows early detection of abnormalities before more serious symptoms appear.
The examination is non-invasive and safe. During the heart echo, the patient lies on a couch while the doctor moves the camera's head across the chest, obtaining an image of the heart's workings on a monitor.

Frequently asked questions
Is a heart echo different from an ECG?

Is the echo heart test safe?
Yes. Echocardiography uses ultrasound and involves no radiation or risk to the patient.
How long does a heart echo take?
Usually from a dozen to about 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the examination and the individual patient's situation.
Do you need to prepare for a heart echo?
No special preparation is required. However, it is advisable to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the chest.
Is the result of the heart echo discussed on site?
Yes. A test is of most value when its result is immediately interpreted and explained to the patient.
