If you experience at least one of them, be sure to do an ultrasound examination of the heart or an echocardiography (ECHOCG). Why this particular type of diagnosis?

 

Only the echocardiogram will "see" possible problems with the "motor" of our body:

various diseases of the cardiovascular system;

congenital and acquired heart defects;

the condition of the valvular apparatus of the heart;

suffered myocardial infarctions.

Do not be surprised if the doctor sends you for an echocardiogram after an echocardiography (ECG) - this is necessary for a more detailed examination and accurate diagnosis.

EchoCG is also done for children:

at the age of 1 to 3 months - to exclude birth defects;

for older children - when anxiety symptoms appear, before starting school or attending sports sections;

after suffering viral or bacterial infections, for example, sore throat or scarlet fever.

The ECHOCG procedure at HAYAT Medical Center is performed by the ultrasound diagnostics doctor Agzamkhodzhayeva Mukaddas Yuldashevna - a leading specialist and experienced diagnostician, participant of the international charity events "Soglom avlod Uchun", organizer of the Week of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery in Tashkent.
