How long it takes to get the results of cardiac ultrasound is mainly related to the hospital and the degree of heart disease. In general, the results can be obtained on the same day, but some difficult cases may need to get the results the next day. Children who are uncooperative need to be sedated for the examination and may be given oral chloral hydrate. If the patient’s heart is structurally and functionally normal, the report may be available in 10-15 minutes. In patients with complex congenital heart disease or poor transudation conditions, the examination time required is longer and it may take half an hour to obtain the report. Also, the time it takes to get the results depends on the number of patients seen in the hospital. In most cases, the results can be obtained on the same day. In other cases, if it is a complex and difficult case that requires consultation with a higher level physician, the results may be obtained the next day. Therefore, you should ask your doctor and nurse about how long it takes to get the results of a cardiac ultrasound. In addition, there are no special precautions for cardiac ultrasound examinations, and fasting is not required, so patients can arrange the examination time according to their own situation.
