Echocardiogram with Doppler

About Test

An echocardiogram with Doppler imaging is a type of echocardiogram that uses sound waves to create images of the heart and measure the speed and direction of blood flow through the heart and blood vessels. Doppler imaging is a specialized technique that can detect abnormalities in blood flow that may be indicative of heart valve problems, heart failure, or other conditions affecting the heart.

During the test, a transducer is placed on the chest or down the throat to emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off the heart and create echoes. Doppler imaging uses a different type of sound wave that can measure the speed and direction of blood flow in the heart and blood vessels.

The test can help detect abnormalities in blood flow, such as blockages or leakage in heart valves, or abnormalities in the heart's structure or function. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor heart conditions such as heart valve disease, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart defects.

Like a regular echocardiogram, an echocardiogram with Doppler imaging is a non-invasive procedure that is painless and usually takes 30-60 minutes to complete. The results of the test can be used to guide treatment and monitor the progression of heart conditions over time.
