Smile Child Clinic is the best pediatric echocardiography clinic. Using ultrasound waves, echocardiography creates an image of the heart, heart valves, and great vessels. It evaluates heart wall thickness (e.g., hypertrophy or atrophy), motion, ischemia, and infarction. It can be used to assess both left ventricular systolic function and diastolic filling patterns, which can help with the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy, severe heart failure, and constrictive pericarditis. It is also used to assess heart valve structure and function, detect valvular vegetations and intracardiac thrombus, and estimate pulmonary arterial and central venous pressures. Your doctor may order an echocardiogram for a variety of reasons. They could have discovered something unusual during other tests, such as listening to your heartbeat with a stethoscope. If you have an irregular heartbeat, your doctor may want to look at your heart valves or chambers, as well as your heart's ability to pump. They may also perform one if you have heart disease symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, or if your EKG is abnormal (electrocardiogram).
