Echocardiography, sometimes referred to as Cardiac Echo, or an Echo, is an ultrasound of the heart.

An Echocardiogram usually takes 40 minutes

No specific preparation needed for a standard echocardiogram.

You will be asked to cease beta and calcium blockers for a stress echocardiogram. 

Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and two-piece outfits are preferred.

Diagnostic ultrasound and/or sonography is considered a safe, non-invasive procedure by most every medical community, in part, because it uses low-power sound waves. No major medical source has cited that there are any direct risks from a diagnostic ultrasound exam harmful enough to prevent it's use.

If you have a healthcare or pension card your Echo is bulk-billed.

If your Echo incurs a gap or out-of-pocket payment, one of our lovely reception staff will clarify any costs with you when you make your booking.

The referring doctor and any other doctor you would like to include in your treatment will receive a formal report (your results) in a timely fashion.

Please make an appoinment with your Doctor to follow up your results.
