Detect structural heart disease
Echocardiography can identify valve problems, congenital defects, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and other structural issues – often before symptoms appear.
Echocardiography (also called 2D Echo or cardiac ultrasound) is a non‑invasive imaging test that uses high‑frequency sound waves to create real‑time images of your heart. It provides detailed information about the size, shape, and function of the heart chambers, the condition of the heart valves, the thickness of the heart muscle, and the pumping efficiency (ejection fraction). It is one of the most valuable tools for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of heart conditions – from valve disease and heart failure to congenital heart defects and cardiomyopathies.
Unlike X‑rays or CT scans, echocardiography uses no radiation, making it safe for repeated use and for all patients, including pregnant women. The test is painless and typically takes 30–45 minutes. A small transducer (probe) is placed on your chest, and sometimes a small probe is passed into your oesophagus (transoesophageal echo) for more detailed views.
At Amytri Diagnostics, we perform 2D echocardiography using state‑of‑the‑art ultrasound systems with advanced features like colour Doppler, tissue Doppler, and strain imaging. Our experienced cardiologist or sonographer performs the scan, and the images are interpreted by a qualified cardiologist – providing you with a comprehensive, accurate assessment of your heart health.
Echocardiography provides a window into your heart – revealing the size, shape, and pumping efficiency, and detecting valve problems, muscle damage, and fluid around the heart.
Echocardiography can identify valve problems, congenital defects, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and other structural issues – often before symptoms appear.
EF is a key measure of heart failure – echocardiography provides accurate, reproducible measurements that guide treatment and monitor response.
For patients with heart failure, valve disease, or cardiomyopathy, serial echocardiograms monitor changes over time – helping adjust medications and interventions.
We provide a full range of echocardiographic assessments – from routine resting echoes to advanced Doppler and stress echocardiography.
Standard non‑invasive echo performed through the chest wall – provides comprehensive images of heart chambers, valves, and function with colour and spectral Doppler.
Assesses blood flow across valves, measures pressure gradients, and quantifies regurgitant volumes – essential for valve disease evaluation.
Calculates LVEF using Simpson's method or visual estimation; assesses regional wall motion to detect ischaemia or infarction.
Evaluates filling pressures and relaxation – crucial for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Performed during exercise (treadmill) or with dobutamine – assesses heart function under stress to detect ischaemia or viability.
Advanced echo performed with a probe passed into the oesophagus – provides high‑resolution images, useful for detecting vegetations, clots, and valve pathology.
Call us, WhatsApp, or visit our centre to schedule your echocardiogram. No special preparation is needed – you can eat and drink as usual.
Wear loose‑fitting clothing that allows access to your chest. You will lie on an examination bed. Electrodes (for ECG) may be placed on your chest to monitor heart rhythm during the scan.
A small amount of gel is applied to your chest. The transducer is moved over different areas to capture images from various angles. You may be asked to hold your breath or change positions. The scan takes 30–45 minutes and is painless.
Your echocardiogram is reviewed by a cardiologist, and a comprehensive report is generated – including chamber sizes, valve function, ejection fraction, and any abnormalities. The report is shared with you and your referring doctor.
It is a key investigation for cardiac symptoms, known heart disease, and routine evaluation of heart health.
These may indicate heart failure – echocardiography evaluates pumping function and detects fluid overload.
If a murmur is heard or valve disease is suspected – echocardiography assesses valve structure and function, grading stenosis and regurgitation.
Echocardiography can identify wall motion abnormalities, ischaemia, and complications of myocardial infarction.
Chronic hypertension can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction – echo detects these early changes.
Echo screening can detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other inherited conditions in at‑risk families.
Patients with heart failure, valvular disease, or post‑surgical follow‑up benefit from regular echocardiograms to track progression and guide therapy.
Dr. Abhishek oversees echocardiography services at Amytri, ensuring that every scan is performed to the highest standards. He works closely with cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to provide accurate, clinically relevant reports that guide patient management – from diagnosing valvular heart disease to monitoring heart failure therapy.
An echocardiogram is a detailed examination – having your partner or family member with you can provide comfort and shared understanding.
We welcome partners during the echocardiogram and the subsequent report discussion. They can ask questions, help remember the doctor's advice, and support you through any follow‑up care.
Echocardiography is a non‑invasive ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create real‑time images of your heart – showing its structure, pumping function, valves, and blood flow.
Yes, echocardiography is completely safe and uses no radiation. It is painless and has no known risks, making it safe for repeated use and for all patients, including pregnant women.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Wear loose‑fitting clothing that allows access to your chest.
A standard transthoracic echocardiogram typically takes 30–45 minutes. More complex studies (stress echo, TEE) may take longer.
A preliminary report is often available immediately after the test. A comprehensive report with detailed measurements and interpretations is provided within 24–48 hours.
A referral from your physician or cardiologist is recommended. This ensures the test is performed for the right indications and the results are interpreted in the context of your clinical history.
