A healthy heart is a foundation for a healthy life. At Mahanandan Super Speciality Hospital, our Echocardiography (ECHO) services provide detailed images of the heart using safe, non-invasive ultrasound technology. Our experienced cardiologists and advanced imaging techniques ensure accurate assessment of heart structure and function, supporting early diagnosis and effective management of cardiac conditions.

What is an ECHO?

Echocardiography (ECHO) uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the heart's chambers, valves, walls, and blood flow. It helps evaluate how well the heart is pumping blood and identify structural abnormalities that may require treatment.

• Assessment of heart valve function and heart wall motion
• Detection of heart defects, infections, or tumors
• Monitoring heart function after a heart attack or surgery

ECHO testing is painless, radiation-free, and offers critical insights into both congenital and acquired heart conditions.

When is an ECHO Recommended?

Your doctor may advise an ECHO if there are symptoms or findings that suggest heart disease or if there is a need to monitor existing cardiac conditions over time.

• Shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling in legs
• Heart murmurs or irregular heartbeat
• Evaluation after heart surgeries, angioplasty, or valve replacements

Routine ECHO scans are also part of regular check-ups for patients with hypertension, diabetes, or known heart diseases.

Preparing for an ECHO Test

No special preparation is usually required for a standard transthoracic ECHO. Our team ensures that patients are fully informed and comfortable before, during, and after the procedure.

• Wear comfortable clothing — you may be asked to change into a hospital gown
• No fasting needed unless instructed (for specific types like transesophageal ECHO)
• Continue regular medications unless advised otherwise

The test takes around 20–40 minutes, during which an ultrasound probe is moved gently over your chest to capture images of your heart in motion.
