Heart problems are not always easy to notice right away. That is why it is recommended to have your heart checked regularly!
A cardiac examination is essential especially if you have symptoms such as chest discomfort, nausea, heartburn, indigestion and pain in that area, dizziness, pain in the throat or jaw, cold sweats, fatigue, snoring, a persistent cough, leg swelling, or arrhythmia.
Early diagnosis and early treatment in cardiology and cardiac surgery reduce deaths from heart disease to a minimum.
The main indications for an ultrasound examination of the heart (echocardiography) are as follows:
If any heart murmur is heard
If blood pressure is high or low
If changes are found on a routine ECG
For follow-up after heart surgery
When patients have pain in the heart area or shortness of breath
When a heart attack is suspected, and in patients who have had a heart attack
When a congenital or acquired heart defect is suspected
