Pediatric Echocardiography

Pediatric echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create detailed pictures of a child's heart. It helps doctors assess the heart's structure, function, and blood flow, detecting conditions like congenital heart defects or heart muscle issues. The procedure is safe, painless, and typically performed with a small probe placed on the chest, sometimes with additional views using a probe inserted into the esophagus. This test provides valuable information to guide diagnosis and treatment, ensuring early and accurate management of heart conditions in children.
