ECHO-CG (echocardiography of the heart) is a modern ultrasound diagnostic method that allows real-time assessment of the heart’s structure and function. During the examination, the doctor evaluates the size of the heart chambers, the condition of the valve apparatus, myocardial wall thickness, contractility, and intracardiac blood flow parameters. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and highly informative, and is used for the diagnosis of arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular defects, and other cardiovascular conditions, as well as for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, swelling, high or low blood pressure, or a feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat.
A cardiologist treats conditions such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, and other cardiovascular disorders. The specialist selects an individual diagnostic and treatment program, helps reduce the risk of complications, and works to improve the patient’s quality of life.
