Transthoracic Echocardiography In Upper Coomera

Transthoracic Echocardiography in Upper Coomera is the most commonly performed type of echocardiography, offering a non-invasive way to evaluate your heart’s health. During the procedure, a device called a transducer is placed on your chest over the heart. The transducer emits ultrasound waves that pass through your chest to your heart, and a computer then interprets the returning sound waves to create live images displayed on a monitor.

A healthcare professional at True Care Cardiology will follow specific guidelines to capture various images, ensuring a thorough assessment of your heart’s function and structure. This test is crucial for diagnosing a variety of heart conditions and helps our team provide personalised care.
