What Are the Uses for a Cardiac Ultrasound?

Cardiac ultrasound is the only instrument that can dynamically display the structure of the heart cavity, the heart's pulse and blood flow, without any damage to the human body. The heart probe is like the lens of a camera. As the probe rotates, the various structures of the heart are clearly displayed on the screen.

Cardiac ultrasound is also the only instrument that can visually display valve lesions. Through the measurement of color ultrasound, doctors can understand the degree of valve lesions to decide conservative or surgical treatment. Cardiomyopathy is a disease whose incidence has gradually increased in recent years. The thickening of the heart muscle and the enlargement of the heart cavity must be determined by color Doppler ultrasound. For coronary heart disease, the color Doppler ultrasound can directly show the state of myocardial movement and heart function, and prompt the clinician to lack of The blood ...

Mainly check whether there is any abnormality in the morphology of the heart and whether the heart function is normal. It is the first choice for congenital heart disease.

Cardiac ultrasound is the only instrument that can dynamically display the structure of the heart cavity, the heart's pulse and blood flow, without any damage to the human body. The heart probe is like the lens of a camera. The probe is moved back and forth in front of the chest. As the probe rotates, the various structures of the heart are clearly displayed on the screen.
