ultrasound-guided cardiac procedures

Ultrasound-guided cardiac procedures use ultrasound technology to visualize the heart in real time while doctors perform interventions. An ultrasound machine emits sound waves that create images of the heart's structure and function. This guidance helps doctors accurately place catheters, repair heart valves, or remove blockages with greater precision and safety. These procedures are typically minimally invasive, meaning they require only small incisions or may even be done through the skin. Overall, this technique enhances the effectiveness of treatments while reducing recovery time and complications for patients.
