Echo Services

Welcome to the Echocardiogram (ECHO) department at Ndola Diagnostics & Imaging Centre, where cutting-edge technology and compassionate care provide essential insights into your heart health. Our ECHO services offer detailed imaging to evaluate the structure and function of your heart, assisting in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

What is an Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, commonly known as an ECHO, is a non-invasive test that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart. It allows doctors to visualize the heart’s chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels, as well as assess its pumping function. This critical information helps detect various heart conditions, including valve disorders, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathies, and more.

Our ECHO Services

Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE): A TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram, performed by placing a transducer on the chest. It provides comprehensive images of the heart’s structure and function, helping diagnose and monitor a wide range of cardiac conditions.

Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): A TEE involves inserting a specialized transducer into the esophagus to get closer images of the heart. This procedure offers clearer views, especially of the heart’s posterior structures, and is often used when more detailed imaging is required.

Stress Echocardiogram: A stress echocardiogram combines an echocardiogram with a stress test, usually performed on a treadmill or stationary bike. It evaluates how the heart functions under physical stress, helping identify issues like coronary artery disease that may not be apparent at rest.

Doppler Echocardiogram: A Doppler echocardiogram measures the speed and direction of blood flow through the heart and blood vessels. It helps assess the severity of valve diseases, detect abnormal blood flow patterns, and evaluate heart function.

3D Echocardiogram: A 3D echocardiogram provides three-dimensional images of the heart, offering enhanced visualization of cardiac structures. This advanced imaging technique is particularly useful for detailed assessment and surgical planning.

Fetal Echocardiogram: A fetal echocardiogram evaluates the heart of an unborn baby, typically performed between 18-24 weeks of pregnancy. It helps detect congenital heart defects early, allowing for timely intervention and planning.
