Transthoracic Echocardiography In Sanctuary Cove

Transthoracic echocardiography is the most commonly performed type of echocardiography, offering a non-invasive way to assess heart health.

During the procedure, a device called a transducer is placed on your chest over your heart. The transducer emits ultrasound waves that pass through your chest and reflect off your heart, creating detailed real-time images displayed on a monitor. A computer processes these returning sound waves, allowing for a thorough examination of heart function.

At Ture Care Cardiology, we provide Transthoracic Echocardiography in Sanctuary Cove, following precise medical guidelines to ensure accurate imaging and comprehensive evaluation. This test helps detect structural abnormalities, monitor heart conditions, and assess overall cardiac function with ease and reliability.

What to Expect

Transthoracic echocardiography is painless and noninvasive. You won’t need any special preparation before the test, and there is no recovery time afterward.

  • You’ll be asked to remove your clothing from the waist up and wear a gown.

  • You’ll lie on your back or side on a table or stretcher.
  • The technician will apply gel to your chest and use a wand to capture images.
  • You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath briefly at certain times during the procedure.
