An echocardiogram test (echocardiography) is a type of ultrasound used to look at how the heart is functioning. It's a painless and non-invasive procedure that lets cardiologist Dr. Steven Reisman see the anatomy, structure, and function of all four chambers and valves of the heart. In our practice in NYC, echocardiography (echo) is performed by a trained sonographer. An echocardiogram takes "moving pictures" of the heart with sound waves. Then, the ultrasound of the heart and electrocardiography (ECG) signals are recorded digitally to be reviewed by the Cardiologist.
An echocardiogram is performed by a highly-skilled cardiac technician sonographer or cardiology specialist and usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes. The patient lies on an exam table, and an ultrasound probe is placed on the chest, and two-dimensional pictures are produced. This cardiac test can indicate heart chamber or valve abnormalities. The findings and the results of the echocardiography test are usually available within two days.
