A Paediatric Echo is a crucial, non-invasive ultrasound test for evaluating heart health in children. It uses sound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, assessing its size, function, and structure.
Beyond diagnosing heart conditions, an Echo is also valuable for routine cardiac health checks, offering reassurance about a child’s overall heart health. It’s a safe, painless procedure that provides essential information for both parents and doctors.
Echo uses sound wave technology to produce live images of the heart, assessing the size, function, and structure of the heart muscle and valves. Additionally, it measures flow and pressures in the heart’s chambers, major heart arteries and veins, and can provide some information about lung function.
