Latest Version of Echocardiography Provides Improved Pictures of the Heart
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a recent progress in echocardiography providing doctors with improved imaging of the heart. This procedure entails the insertion of a // probe into the esophagus, which emits radio waves. These waves, bounce off the heart and help in enabling a motion picture of the heart, far clearer than a conventional echocardiogram. These detailed images a...Echocardiography-Guided Genetic Test Could Improve Screening For Lethal Heart Condition
Mayo Clinic researchers say that the distinctive features of the heart muscle could be used to accurately diagnose the presence of a genetic quirk that is linked to a lethal, inherited heart condition // called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Steve Ommen, M.D., director of Mayo’s HCM Clinic and co-lead investigator of the Mayo Clinic research team said that the currently available tes...ACUSON Sequoia C512 Echocardiography System
