Cardiac ultrasound examination is mainly to check the common and frequent diseases of the heart, such as a congenital heart disease caused by congenital developmental abnormalities, and acquired factors caused by the heart and structural and functional changes, the movement of the valves can be diagnosed by cardiac ultrasound.
1. Cardiac ultrasound is the examination of echocardiography, which is the examination of the structure and function of the heart using a special instrument and the principle of acoustics. Cardiac ultrasound is non-radioactive, reproducible, inexpensive, and easy to perform, and most patients are willing to undergo the examination.
2. Echocardiography can be used to detect common and frequent diseases of the heart, including congenital heart diseases with congenital developmental abnormalities, such as ventricular septal defects, arterial duct failure, atrial septal defects, transposition of the great arteries, and congenital developmental malformations of abnormal heart structures.
3. It can also detect acquired diseases, such as geriatric lesions, changes in the heart structure due to long-term diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatism, all of which can be detected by echocardiography.
4. Ultrasound of the heart can also check the movement of the heart valves and determine whether there is insufficient closure.
In conclusion, cardiac ultrasound can evaluate the size and structure of the heart, the movement of the ventricular walls, the opening and closing of the valves, and the condition of the main pulmonary arteries.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
