Echo test report

An echocardiogram, or echo, is a type of ultrasound or sonogram imaging test that translates sound wave echoes into moving images of your heart. Your doctor may use an echocardiogram to look at your heart’s size and structure and to see how well it pumps blood. An echocardiogram evaluates many problems, including heart murmurs, heart failure, and Read on to find out more about the types of echocardiograms. This article also looks at when you might need an echo heart test and what it can help with diagnosing, as well as what to expect during the procedure. Standard transthoracic echocardiogram Standard transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is the Trusted Source PubMed Central Highly respected database from the National Institutes of Health TTE makes moving pictures of your heart while you are at rest. It uses a painless, wand-like instrument called a “transducer” that your doctor passes over your chest. Why might you need an echocardiogram? Your doctor might order an echocardiogram if you have symptoms that indicate a heart condition. Symptoms can include: • • fluttering sensation in your chest • • • • • • • passing out • Contact your doctor if you frequently or persistently experience any of these symptoms. Learn about the What does an echocardiogram show? An echocardiogram can provide information about your heart health. Your doctor may order the test to see whether there are problems with blood flow or the function of your heart. An echocardiogram cannot diagnose all types ...

How to interpret an echo report? (Please see the YouTube video above for illustrations) Echocardiogram, often called just echo in short is ultrasound imaging of the heart. Though the actual types of details mentioned in echo report may vary between institutions and even persons reporting it, in general there are several common aspects. Reports of children with birth defects of the heart will have a different pattern. This discussion is mainly on an echo report from a general cardiology setup rather than a specialized report. In addition to details of identification and date of procedure, reason for the test and the quality of images are usually mentioned in the beginning of the report. Quality of images may be poor in those with lung disease and in obese individuals. Finer details in the report should be interpreted with caution when the image quality is reported as poor or as poor echo window. Poor echo window means that good quality images were not obtained during the study. This is common in those with chronic obstructive lung disease as the hyperinflated lungs overlap the heart in parasternal and apical echo windows. The usual echo windows are the parasternal, apical, subcostal and suprasternal. Each window allows the imaging of certain cardiac structures. In chronic obstructive lung disease when the parasternal and apical windows are poor, subcostal window is usually good. Lungs do not come in the way of the ultrasound beam in the subcostal view. Air in the lungs do n...
