An echocardiogram of heart is a valuable tool to assess cardiac anatomy and function.
45 minutes examination of your heart valves, its walls and blood flow is assessed in a selected protocol. It is of utmost importance to have this test done with a trained and qualified cardiac sonographer.
At present the value of this examination has been compromised considerably. 45 minutes exam is performed in 15-20 minutes resulting in missed pathologies. Keep in mind that echo is not just taking the pictures of your heart it is much more than that.
Its always better to do TTE test at a clinic where there is on-site cardiologist is available who can provide further support if needed. Medicare allow echo once in a 24 month as of August 2020.
