Doppler Echocardiography

Doppler echocardiography is a diagnostic ultrasound technique utilizing Doppler principles to assess the direction and speed of blood flow within the chambers of the heart. This information can be used to assess the structure of the heart and its valves, and to measure the strength of the heart muscle and ejection fraction. It is a non-invasive procedure that can help doctors diagnose a variety of heart conditions, such as cardiac arrhythmia, congenital heart defects, and ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart muscle). Doppler echocardiography is an important tool for assessing the function of the heart and helping patients receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
