Ultrasound Transthoracic Echocardiogram
High Frequency Sound Waves
Ultrasound Transthoracic Echocardiogram is a diagnostic imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create comprehensive images of the heart.
The exam also includes Doppler Ultrasound, which measures the speed and direction of blood flow,, helping to detect abnormal patterns and how well your heart is functioning.
Benefits of Ultrasound Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
