Echocardiology, Color Doppler, and Ultrasound
At Ohri Hospital, our Cardiology Department offers advanced cardiovascular imaging services, including echocardiology, color Doppler, and ultrasound. These non-invasive tests help diagnose and manage heart conditions, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
Echocardiology:
Echocardiology, or echo, uses sound waves to create images of the heart, allowing our cardiologists to:
– Evaluate heart structure and function
– Diagnose heart conditions, such as valve problems or cardiomyopathy
– Monitor heart health over time
Color Doppler:
Color Doppler ultrasound uses color to visualize blood flow through the heart and its vessels, helping our cardiologists:
– Detect blood clots and blockages
– Evaluate valve function and blood flow
– Identify areas of reduced blood flow
Ultrasound:
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the heart and its structures, allowing our cardiologists to:
– Examine heart valves and chambers
– Diagnose heart conditions, such as holes in the heart or heart failure
– Guide procedures, such as catheterizations
Advanced Technology:
Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures high-quality images and accurate diagnoses. Our experienced cardiologists and sonographers work together to provide comprehensive care.
