Echocardiography
Advanced ultrasound imaging to evaluate heart structure, function, and blood flow patterns.
Advanced ultrasound imaging to evaluate heart structure, function, and blood flow patterns.
Duration
30-60 minutes for standard echo; 60-90 minutes for stress echo
Cost Range
₹2,000 - ₹6,000 (varies by type of echo)
Insurance
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary echocardiography.
Echocardiography uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed, moving images of your heart. This non-invasive test allows our cardiologists to assess heart chamber size, muscle function, valve operation, and blood flow patterns without radiation exposure.
Echocardiography is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions including valve diseases, heart failure, congenital defects, and cardiomyopathies. It provides real-time information crucial for treatment planning.
Standard echo performed with transducer on chest wall
Measures speed and direction of blood flow through heart valves
Echo performed before and after exercise or medication-induced stress
Advanced imaging providing three-dimensional views of heart structures
Uses microbubble contrast for enhanced image quality
A cardiologist interprets the images and discusses findings with you. A detailed report is provided, often on the same day.
