Echocardiogram in Mysore

Overview 

An echocardiogram in Mysore at Manipal Hospital Mysore is a safe, non-invasive way to see how the heart is working in real time. Using ultrasound waves, doctors can study heart chambers, valves, muscle movement, and blood flow without radiation. The test helps identify valve problems, heart muscle weakness, clots, and congenital conditions. With multiple echo options and timely reporting, patients receive clear answers and confident guidance.

How It Works 

At Manipal Hospital Mysore, a standard transthoracic echocardiogram is carried out in a relaxed, comfortable setting. You are positioned on your side while a small amount of gel is applied to the chest. This gel helps the ultrasound probe transmit sound waves that bounce off heart structures and return as moving images on a screen. These images allow doctors to assess chamber size, wall thickness, pumping strength, and valve movement from several viewing angles.

Colour Doppler is used to show how blood flows through the heart, helping detect leaks or narrowing in valves. Additional Doppler measurements provide information about pressure levels and flow speed, which are important for diagnosing conditions such as valve disease or pulmonary hypertension.

If further detail is needed, stress echocardiography compares images taken before and after exercise or medication-induced stress to check for reduced blood supply. In selected cases, a transesophageal echo is advised to obtain clearer views of deeper heart structures. Most echo tests are completed within 20 to 45 minutes, with images stored digitally for review and follow-up.

Benefits 

An echo test in Mysore offers clear, real-time insight into heart health without radiation exposure.

  • It assesses heart structure, pumping strength, and valve function accurately.

  • Doppler imaging measures blood flow and pressure changes precisely.

  • It detects clots, fluid around the heart, and congenital issues.

  • Stress echo helps identify reduced blood supply safely.

What to Expect 

From consultation to post-test discussion, echocardiogram services at Manipal Hospital Mysore are organised to feel simple, reassuring, and well-explained.

  • Consultation and Assessment
    Your doctor reviews symptoms, medical history, and previous reports to decide the most suitable type of echocardiogram.

  • Pre-test Preparation
    In most cases, no fasting is required. You may be asked to wear comfortable clothing and avoid applying lotions on the chest area.

  • Test Procedure
    The echocardiogram is performed using advanced ultrasound equipment that captures live images of your heart. The test is painless and you may be asked to change position or briefly hold your breath for clearer views.

  • Monitoring and Review
    Images are checked for clarity during the test. Measurements are analysed carefully by experienced cardiologists.

  • Short Observation

You can rest briefly after the test, especially if a stress or transesophageal echo was performed.

  • Doctor Consultation
    Your cardiologist explains the findings and discusses next steps, whether reassurance, follow-up, or treatment planning.
