Transthoracic Echocardiography in Surfers Paradise

Transthoracic echocardiography is the most widely used form of heart imaging.

In this procedure, a handheld device called a transducer is gently placed on the chest over the heart. It emits ultrasound waves that pass through the chest and reflect off the heart structures. A computer then converts these sound waves into real-time images displayed on a screen.

At True Care Cardiology, Transthoracic Echocardiography in Surfers Paradise is performed with precision, following established protocols to capture clear, detailed images and evaluate vital aspects of heart function.
