Echocardiogram
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your heart. It provides detailed insight into heart function, chamber size, valve performance, and overall heart health.
At Potomac Cardiovascular Consultants, we use advanced 2D, Doppler, and 3D echocardiography to detect heart abnormalities with clarity and accuracy.
This test helps diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:
- Heart valve disease
- Congestive heart failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Congenital heart defects
- Pericardial disease
Our experienced technicians and cardiologists ensure your results are reviewed promptly to guide your care effectively.
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes. It’s safe, painless, and requires no radiation. A gel is applied to your chest, and a probe (transducer) is used to scan the heart.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after the test.
- Accredited echocardiography lab with board-certified cardiologists
- High-definition ultrasound equipment for enhanced accuracy
- Compassionate care in a comfortable, modern setting
- Flexible scheduling, including same-day availability
Trust Potomac Cardiovascular Consultants to give your heart the attention it deserves.
