Our Echocardiogram Test London Service is available at our specialist private Cardiology Clinic, at 9 Harley Street.
An echocardiogram or echo is a type of ultrasound scan that looks at the heart and surrounding blood vessels to diagnose and monitor various heart conditions.
A radiographer will use a probe to scan your chest, with images produced by the sound waves emitted viewed on a monitor and analysed to produce a diagnosis.
An echocardiogram checks the structure and pumping function of the heart, and assesses how well blood flows through neighbouring blood vessels. It can help diagnose and detect certain heart conditions such as:
Heart failure is a condition whereby the heart cannot properly pump blood around the body. It is something that progresses slowly and doesn’t mean your heart has stopped working, but will require some assistance to function normally again.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that can lead to heart failure. Usually it involves the walls of the heart’s chambers becoming too thick or stretched.
Endocarditis is an inflammation of the lining of the chambers and valves in the heart. It is usually caused by an infection and can be life threatening.
Congenital heart disease is a term that describes a number of heart conditions that will have been present since birth. An echocardiogram can help detect these conditions.
Heart attacks are caused by lack of blood supply to the heart. Afterwards, the heart muscle that lost blood supply can be damaged.
