Cardiology
Ultrasound diagnostic
Cardiac ultrasound (Echocardiography) - includes multi-beam scanning, anatomical M‑mode, continuous‑wave Doppler (CW), Teichholz and Simpson’s biplane methods for ejection fraction calculation, tissue color Doppler (TVI), and tissue pulsed‑wave (spectral) Doppler (TDI).
Echocardiography is a modern, highly informative ultrasound diagnostic method that allows real‑time assessment of cardiac structure and function. It is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of heart disease.
During a cardiac ultrasound, it is possible to measure the dimensions of the heart chambers and the thickness of the ventricular walls, assess the contractility of the myocardium, evaluate the condition of the valvular apparatus (including detection of valvular regurgitation or stenoses), and analyze the pattern and velocity of blood flow within the cardiac cavities.
