Care with a
clear purpose.
An echocardiogram uses sound waves to create images of the heart. These images help a clinician examine its structure and how it is working. The clinic will confirm the type of examination needed and explain what will happen during your appointment.
What this service involves
- Create ultrasound images of the heart
- Assess heart structure and movement
- Support the referring clinician’s assessment
Before your visit
Bring your referral and any relevant previous reports. The clinic will advise whether you need to do anything before the examination.
