Heart ultrasound in Kiev
Ultrasound of the heart is an absolutely painless and safe procedure that lasts from 20 to 40 minutes (depending on the required scope of the examination and the characteristics of the patient's constitution).
A special gel is applied to the chest, which improves the transmission of the ultrasound signal.
The cardiologist displays the image on the ultrasound machine screen in real time and performs the necessary measurements.
Next, the cardiologist fills out or creates a protocol for instrumental examination of the heart.
Echocardiography (EchoCG) does not require any special preparation. However, there are a few important details: you should not overeat before the examination, and you should also avoid drinking coffee and alcohol 6 hours before the examination.
Echocardiography of the heart is performed in women in the same way as in men.
This functional examination method is completely safe, so it can be performed in unlimited quantities as directed by a doctor.
