COLOR DOPPLER ECOCARDIOGRAPHY (ECO HEART ULTASOUND)
Sending ultrasound waves to the heart from the front of the chest with a device and converting the received waves into an image on the device is known as echocardiography. With this examination:
- Evaluation of the heart chambers, the outgoing aortic vessel, and the heart membrane
- Assessment of heart wall thickness, heart contraction function (ejection fraction – EF)
- Heart valve functions, stenosis, insufficiencies, and infections
- Congenital (birth) heart diseases and heart defects can be evaluated.
The advantage of this method is that it can be performed at any center, it is inexpensive, harmless, and a radiation-free method.
