Echocardiography + 2D tissue Doppler, post-processing, CD included

Cardiac ultrasound

is the gold standard in cardiology. It is the imaging method of the first intention and the most demanded in this area. Echocardiography allows studying and visualizing the structures of the heart (cavities, valves, muscles). Due to this procedure, doctors can know the parameters that define the contraction and relaxation functions of the heart.

It examines

the heart, its structure and function; blood vessels and the speed of blood flow. It allows measuring the speed of blood flow/movement of the myocardium and obtaining accurate information related to heart function. The procedure is performed easily and does not require much time or special preparation.
