Echocardiography (Echo)

Echocardiography (Echo) – A Vital Cardiac Diagnostic Tool by Dr. Mamtesh Gupta

Echocardiography, commonly known as an Echo, is a non-invasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce real-time images of the heart. It plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis, monitoring, and management of a wide range of heart diseases.

At the clinic of Dr. Mamtesh Gupta, DM – Cardiology, patients receive accurate and comprehensive echocardiography services using state-of-the-art equipment. With years of experience and deep clinical insight, Dr. Gupta ensures each Echo study is interpreted with precision, aiding in the most effective cardiac treatment decisions.

What is an Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram captures moving images of the heart's structures, including chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels. These images help doctors assess how well the heart is functioning, whether it is pumping effectively, and if there are any structural abnormalities.

There are different types of echocardiography, including:

• Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) – The most common type, performed by placing a probe on the chest.

• Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) – A more detailed view using a probe inserted into the esophagus.

• Stress Echocardiography – Performed during or after physical activity to assess heart function under stress.

• Doppler Echocardiography – Measures the speed and direction of blood flow within the heart.

Why is an Echo Performed?

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta may recommend an Echo to evaluate symptoms such as:

• Chest pain

• Shortness of breath

• Palpitations or irregular heartbeat

• Swelling in the legs (edema)

• Dizziness or fainting spells

Echo helps in detecting conditions such as:

• Heart valve diseases (stenosis or regurgitation)

• Congenital heart defects

• Cardiomyopathy

• Heart failure

• Blood clots or tumors inside the heart

• Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart)
