How is an Echocardiogram (Echo) performed?

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create images of your heart. The test can reveal abnormal heart valves, weak heart muscles, and blood clots. It's a safe, painless, and quick procedure widely used in diagnosing and monitoring heart conditions.
An echocardiogram is performed by a sonographer or a cardiologist. The patient lies on an examination table. The sonographer uses a transducer, a handheld device, to send and receive ultrasound waves. A clear gel is applied to the chest to enhance the ultrasound waves' transmission. Moving the transducer over the chest generates images of the heart on a monitor, allowing the Cardiologist to evaluate the heart's structure, function, and blood flow in real time. The entire process typically takes 20-45 minutes to complete.

What problem of mild ar?

[@heartcaresydney]

AR stands for Aortic Regurgitation. It's when the Aortic Valve does not close (shut) properly and a small amount of blood, leaks back to the heart from the aorta. If mild, no therapy needed, only regular surveillance, every one or two years. The more severe cases, need closer follow-ups.
