ECG and Echocardiography
Electrocardiography (ECG) and Echocardiography
Doren Specialist Hospital’s Radiology unit is equipped with both Electrocardiography (ECG) and Echocardiography machines, giving our doctors two complementary ways to assess heart health, one for the heart’s electrical activity, and one for its structure and function.
ECG
Records the heart’s electrical signals using sensors placed on the chest, arms, and legs. Fast, painless, and needle-free..They detects irregular heart rhythm, checks for signs of a heart attack, flags reduced blood flow to the heart and takes just a few minutes
Echocardiography
Uses ultrasound (sound waves) to produce moving images of the heart, showing its size, shape, and how well it’s pumping. They assesses heart chambers and valves, checks pumping strength and blood flow, detects fluid around the heart,safe, real-time imaging, no radiation
When Your Doctor May Recommend Them
Chest Pain or Palpitations
To check for arrhythmias or signs of reduced blood flow.
Shortness of Breath
To assess how well the heart is pumping.
Routine Cardiac Screening
As part of a general health check or pre-surgical assessment.
Follow-up on a Known Heart Condition
To monitor changes in heart rhythm or function over time.
