Echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart) – a method of ultrasound diagnostics that allows you to assess the structure and function of the heart. Aimed at the study of morphological and functional changes of the heart and its valvular apparatus. It is based on the capture of ultrasound waves reflected from the structures of the heart. It is one of the main research methods used in modern cardiology. Echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart) in Lviv is used during the examination of patients with suspected heart disease (congenital defects, acquired heart defects (hypertensive disease, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, infective endocarditis, tumors, etc.).
Often, patients do not pay attention to the initial symptoms of the disease: rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath during exercise, periodic increase in pressure, various types of pain in the chest, pain in the joints, causeless increase in body temperature up to 37 - 37.2 °C.< /p>
This method of detecting the initial stages of heart diseases in adults and children makes it possible to prevent the development of severe damage with the formation of heart defects, to identify areas of ischemia (impaired blood supply to the heart muscle) of the myocardium, previous myocardial infarctions that are not always visible on an electrocardiogram.< /p>
Carrying out echocardiography, electrocardiographic and laboratory examination at this stage allows you to avoid the development of serious diseases that reduce work capacity and significantly worsen the quality of life.
Echocardiographic observation of hypertensive patients allows to choose the right treatment and control its effectiveness, as well as to quickly and reliably diagnose the pathology of the cardiovascular system.
