What to Expect During an echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart.
During the test:
• A Cardiac Sonographer applies gel to the chest
• A probe captures 120-140 images of the heart
• The procedure is painless
• The test usually takes 30–45 minutes
Results are reviewed by a cardiologist and provided to your referring doctor. When visiting a Victorian Echocardiography clinic for a bulk-billed echocardiogram, patients can expect a welcoming atmosphere.
