Specialized echocardiography: an advanced method for the diagnosis and evaluation of heart diseases

Echocardiography is one of the most important and accurate non-invasive imaging methods in the cardiovascular field, which provides live and 3D images of the structure and function of the heart using ultrasound waves. This method plays a vital role in the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment planning of heart diseases. Specialized echocardiography is an advanced and comprehensive version of this technique that is performed by heart and vascular specialists and provides much more accurate and detailed information.

Technical principles of specialized echocardiography

In this method, high-frequency sound waves are sent to the heart by a special probe, and the reflection of these waves from the structures of the heart is returned to the receiving device. These reflections are converted into two-dimensional or three-dimensional images and analyzed by a cardiologist for a detailed examination of the heart's anatomy and function. These images can include the walls of the heart, cavities, valves, blood flow inside the heart and even the tissues around it. id="%d8%a7%da%a9%d9%88%da%a9%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%af%db%8c%d9%88%da%af%d8 %b1%d8%a7%d9%81%db%8c-%d8%af%d9%88-%d8%a8%d8%b9%d8%af%db%8c-2d-echo" title="2D echocardiography (2D Echo)">2D echocardiography (2D Echo)

is the most common type of echocardiography that provides a 2D view of the heart. This image allows the doctor to see the structure of the heart, the thickness of the walls, the movement of the valves and the cavities of the heart live.

3D echocardiography (3D Echo)

A more advanced version that creates 3D and more accurate images of the heart. This technology allows heart surgeons to see the structures of the heart in a completely realistic and accurate way before the operation and to plan the surgery more precisely.

Doppler echocardiography (Doppler Echo)

This type of echo measures blood flow inside the heart and vessels based on the Doppler effect. Information such as the speed and direction of blood flow, the pressure inside the chambers of the heart and insufficiency or blockage in the valves is determined.

Stress Echo

This method evaluates the heart's function under stressful conditions, such as exercise or certain medications. Its purpose is to identify areas of the heart that may have problems due to insufficient blood supply (ischemia).

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)

The echo probe is inserted through the esophagus and provides very high-quality images of heart structures, especially used to examine heart valves and clots inside the heart.

Applications of echocardiography Specialized

• Diagnosis of valvular diseases: such as stenosis, insufficiency or blockage of heart valves
• Evaluation of heart muscle function: Measurement of ejection fraction and heart pumping power
• Identification of congenital heart diseases: Investigation of structural defects and heart defects that have been present since birth have
• Diagnosis of heart infections: such as endocarditis (infection of the inner membranes of the heart)
• Evaluation of pericardial diseases: such as inflammation or accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart
• Planning and follow-up of treatment: before and after heart surgeries, angioplasty and valve replacement
• Diagnosis of heart attack and injuries caused by It: Identify areas of the heart muscle that have been damaged

Advantages of specialized echocardiography

• Non-invasive and painless: Unlike angiography and other methods, it does not require cutting or risky injections
• No radiation: Using sound waves instead of X-rays, safe for All patients, even pregnant women
• live and accurate information: the possibility of observing heart movement and blood flow in real time
• possibility of frequent repetition: it can be done easily and without restrictions to follow up the treatment

Important points and conditions for performing specialized echocardiography

• Usually, it does not require special preparation, but in some types, such as transesophageal, it may be necessary to fast and be sedated.
• Performed by a cardiovascular specialist or trained technicians under the supervision of a doctor.
• Detailed examination of the results by a doctor to diagnose and determine the appropriate treatment.
