A Deep Look into the Heart’s Function
Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of blood flow within the heart and blood vessels, enabling doctors to
- Evaluate heart valve function Check if the heart valves open and close effectively. If abnormalities like leaky or narrowed valves are found, doctors can plan appropriate treatment
- Detect coronary artery blockages Examine blood flow in the coronary arteries to see if there’s any narrowing or blockage, which is a major cause of coronary artery disease
- Measure heart pressures Aids in diagnosing heart failure and assessing the severity of the condition
Benefits Beyond Visualization
- Early detection of abnormalities Allows doctors to diagnose and treat heart problems at an early stage
- Monitor treatment progress Evaluate the effectiveness of medication and treatment to adjust the care plan for each patient.
- Reduce the risk of complications Early detection and treatment of heart abnormalities help reduce the risk of serious complications like heart attacks or heart failure
