Cardiac Ultrasound Examination 

A cardiac ultrasound examination, also known as echocardiography, is a safe, painless, and reliable method for assessing the structure and function of the heart. The examination is carried out in cooperation with the Heart Center and performed by a professional specialized in cardiac diagnostics.

What is evaluated during a cardiac ultrasound?

Cardiac ultrasound provides detailed information about the heart’s anatomy and performance. The examination allows assessment of, among other things:

• the heart’s pumping function
• the size of the heart chambers and atria
• the function of the heart valves, including possible leakage or narrowing
• the movement of the heart muscle
• the condition of the pericardium and any fluid accumulation

The examination provides valuable information for the diagnosis and follow-up of heart diseases.
