Frequently Asked Questions

What is an echocardiogram, and why might I need one?

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your heart. You might need an echocardiogram to diagnose or monitor heart conditions, assess heart function, or evaluate symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath.

How is an echocardiogram different from an ECG or EKG?

An echocardiogram is an imaging test that creates images of the heart’s structures and how it functions, while an ECG or EKG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of the heart. EKG measures heart rhythms, while an echocardiogram provides detailed visual information.

Is an echocardiogram safe?

Yes, an echocardiogram is considered safe and non-invasive. It does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a preferred method for assessing heart health.

What should I expect during an echocardiogram appointment at Unicardio Medical Center?

During your echocardiogram, you will lie on an examination table, and a trained technologist (sonographer) will apply gel to your chest. They will use a handheld device called a transducer to capture images of your heart by moving it over your chest.

Do I need to prepare for an echocardiogram?

In most cases, there is no special preparation required for a standard echocardiogram. However, if you are having a specific type of echocardiogram, such as a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions.

Can I eat or drink before an echocardiogram?

In general, you can eat and drink normally before an echocardiogram. Fasting is typically not required. Your healthcare provider will inform you if any specific preparations are necessary.

Can I have an echocardiogram during pregnancy?

Yes, echocardiograms can be performed during pregnancy if needed. The procedure is considered safe and can provide valuable information about the heart’s function during pregnancy.

How long does it take to get the results of an echocardiogram?

The results of your echocardiogram are typically available shortly after the test is completed. A healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist, will review the results and provide an interpretation.

What conditions can an echocardiogram help diagnose or monitor?

Echocardiograms are used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of heart conditions, including heart valve disorders, heart failure, congenital heart defects, and more. They provide valuable insights into heart structure and function.

Can I schedule an echocardiogram at Unicardio Medical Center without a referral?

In many cases, you can schedule an echocardiogram without a referral. However, if your primary care physician or cardiologist has recommended the test, it’s a good idea to inform them of your plans to ensure coordinated care.
