What can be checked by cardiac ultrasound

As we all know, the heart is very important to us, and the health of the heart is also vital. In life, many people will do cardiac color ultrasound when doing some examinations. Cardiac color ultrasound is a type of examination that can display the internal structure of the heart, heartbeat, blood flow, etc., and cardiac color ultrasound does not cause any harm to the human body, so you can rest assured to have the examination.

What can cardiac ultrasound detect?

Mainly to check for heart diseases

The main purpose is to check whether there are any abnormalities in the morphology of the heart and whether the heart function is normal. For example, congenital heart disease, which has no less than 100 types of malformations, can be displayed by cardiac color ultrasound. The residual hole and the blood flow through the hole can be seen on the screen; the thickening of the valve, the reduction of the opening and the high-speed blood flow through the valve can be seen; the changes in the left, right, front and back position of the heart structure and the resulting changes in the blood flow path can be seen; and the various deformities associated with the abnormal position of the heart can be seen.

illustrate:

Almost all heart diseases can be diagnosed through cardiac ultrasound. Doctors can understand and determine the patient's treatment method through cardiac ultrasound measurements. Cardiac color ultrasound is also the only instrument that can visually display valvular lesions. Through color ultrasound measurements, doctors can understand the extent of valvular disease and decide whether to use conservative or surgical treatment.

Cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, etc.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease with a gradually increasing incidence in recent years. The thickening of the myocardium and the enlargement of the heart cavity must be judged by color ultrasound. For coronary heart disease, color ultrasound can intuitively display the movement of the myocardium and cardiac function, and indicate the location of myocardial ischemia to clinicians.

What is cardiac ultrasound?

1. Cardiac color ultrasound is the only instrument that can dynamically display the structure of the heart cavity, heart beats and blood flow without causing any harm to the human body. It is also the only instrument that can visually display valvular lesions. Through color ultrasound measurements, doctors can understand the extent of valvular lesions to decide whether to use conservative or surgical treatment.

2. Color Doppler ultrasound of the heart uses a probe that acts like a camera lens. As the probe rotates, the various structures of the heart are clearly displayed on the screen, thereby detecting deformities such as congenital heart disease, of which there are no less than 100 types.
