心电图(ECG)

An echocardiogram is a key to determining cardiac health, 尤其是在心脏骤停之后, and detecting heart abnormalities in unborn or infant babies. The Cardiology Centre at 迪拜美国医院 offers a painless echocardiogram for a meticulous evaluation of cardiac health and the detection of irregularities in the structure and function of a heart.

通常被称为心脏超声, Echocardiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to produce images with more detailed information about the heart than the conventional X-ray images. The test is part of a routine physical examination and is usually recommended after patients have had a heart attack or experienced heart attack symptoms such as chest pain, 心悸, 还有呼吸短促.

An echocardiogram is carried out by a transducer that emits sound waves towards the heart. When sound waves bounce back from the heart to the transducer, they produce echoes which are processed in 2-dimensional visuals on a computer screen. 心电图可以检查心脏的重要部位, to examine the health of the heart after a heart attack, 检测心脏异常的存在, and assess the effectiveness of procedures performed on the heart.

• 心脏压力
• 先天性心脏病
• 动脉颤

超声心动图是如何工作的?

There are several different types of echocardiograms; each requires a trained sonographer to perform and the heart specialist (cardiologist) to interpret the results.

• 经胸超声心动图(TTE), 是无痛的测试吗, performed by placing a device called a transducer on the patient’s chest, which emits ultrasound waves through the chest towards the heart. As the waves bounce back to the transducer, they produce information-graphics on the monitor screen.
• 经食管超声心动图, is recommended when information obtained by TTE is insufficient or the doctor requires better visuals of the chambers of a heart for a more definite diagnosis. The procedure involves the insertion of a small transducer through the mouth down the throat, which provides a better view of the back of a heart, 以便发现任何问题.
• 应力超声心动图 helps analyze how the heart performs under stress. The procedure involves traditional transthoracic echocardiography before and after the patient has exercised or taken medication that speeds up the heartbeat.
• 三维超声心动图 uses either TTE or TEE to create three-dimensional images of a heart. The procedure helps detect heart abnormalities in children and is usually performed before heart valve surgery.
• 胎儿超声心动图 is performed by placing a transducer over the abdomen of a pregnant woman during 18 to 22 weeks of the gestational age of a fetus. The test can help determine the health of a fetal heart and identify heart abnormalities if exist.

所有 types of echocardiograms are safe as they do not expose patients to radiation.
