The Echocardiography department at Blue Cross utilizes painless ultrasound technology to create detailed images of your heart in real-time. This vital tool provides doctors with a wealth of information about your heart’s function, helping them:

• Diagnose heart conditions: Identify abnormalities in heart valves, chambers, and surrounding tissues.
• Evaluate heart function: Assess pumping strength, blood flow, and overall heart performance.
• Monitor treatment plans: Track the effectiveness of medications, procedures, or implanted devices for existing heart conditions.

A Painless and Informative Test:

During an echocardiogram, a Cardiologist will apply a warm gel to your chest and use a handheld device to project sound waves into your body. These waves create images of your heart on a monitor, allowing doctors to assess its structure and movement. The entire exam is painless and typically takes 20-40 minutes.
