Cardiac Ultrasonography

Cardiac ultrasonography, often used in emergency settings, is a specialized ultrasound technique that creates images of the heart. This non-invasive procedure helps doctors quickly assess heart function, size, and blood flow by using sound waves to produce real-time visual information. It’s particularly useful in emergencies to detect conditions like heart attacks, fluid around the heart, or heart failure. The quick results assist healthcare teams in making urgent decisions about treatment, ensuring timely care for patients experiencing heart-related issues.
