Heart Ultrasound

At New Life Clinic, heart ultrasound is performed in an outpatient setting as a separate stage of cardiology diagnostics. The examination is performed through the chest wall using an ultrasound probe and allows real-time assessment of the anatomical and functional parameters of the heart.

During the examination, the clinic’s doctor systematically evaluates the parameters that have clinical relevance in the current situation: the size of the heart chambers, valve function, myocardial contractility, blood flow characteristics, and other indicators that matter for further interpretation of the result.

Heart ultrasound is recommended when the doctor needs objective visual information about the condition of the heart muscle, the valve apparatus, and key functional parameters of the heart in the context of symptoms, changes in other examinations, or follow-up monitoring.

1. Shortness of Breath, Palpitations, Irregular Beats, or Chest Discomfort
   The examination may be recommended for symptoms that require clarification of the heart’s condition and assessment of whether there are changes that may explain the current symptoms.
2. ECG Changes or Based on a Cardiologist’s Recommendation
   Heart ultrasound is often recommended when ECG findings, physical examination, or the overall clinical picture require additional visual assessment of the heart’s structure and function.
3. Follow-Up of Previously Identified Changes
   Echocardiography is often used as part of follow-up monitoring when it is important to compare current findings with previous data and understand whether the condition of the heart has changed over time.
4. Clarification of Parameters That Affect Further Management
   In some clinical situations, the doctor needs to assess the size of the heart chambers, valve function, contractile function, and other parameters that matter for further cardiology evaluation.
