Transthoracic Echocardiography in Southport

Transthoracic echocardiography is the most commonly used technique for visualising the heart.

During this non-invasive procedure, a handheld device called a transducer is placed on your chest to send ultrasound waves through the body. These waves bounce off the heart’s structures, and a computer transforms them into real-time images on a monitor.

At True Care Cardiology, Transthoracic Echocardiography in Southport is carried out with precision and care, adhering to clinical standards to capture high-quality images and provide a thorough assessment of your heart’s function.
