An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. At The Wellness in Marylebone it costs from £445, as cardiac screening echo, with a report in 24 to 48 hours and a doctor to explain the result.
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. It shows the size and pumping strength of the chambers, how the valves open and close, and the blood flow through them.
A doctor may ask for it for a heart murmur, breathlessness, swollen ankles, palpitations, a family history of heart muscle disease, or before an endurance sport.
No preparation is needed. Eat and take your medicines as normal, and wear a top that is easy to remove.
No. An ECG records the heart’s electrical rhythm, and an echocardiogram shows its structure and movement.
About 30 to 40 minutes.
