Echocardiography Doctors in Banashankari

Echocardiography, commonly known as ECHO, is a safe, non-invasive ultrasound scan that provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It plays a vital role in diagnosing heart diseases, assessing heart muscle performance, and guiding treatment decisions.

At Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar’s cardiac facility, ECHO is performed with high-resolution equipment and interpreted by one of Bangalore’s most experienced interventional cardiologists—bringing together technology and clinical expertise for accurate diagnosis.

When is ECHO Recommended?

You may be advised to undergo an echocardiogram if you have:

• Chest pain, breathlessness, or heart palpitations

• A history of high blood pressure or heart murmurs

• Symptoms of heart valve problems or suspected heart failure

• Risk factors like diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease

• Need for monitoring after angioplasty, device implantation, or surgery

What the ECHO Exam Reveals

• Size and shape of your heart chambers

• Strength and movement of the heart muscle

• Functioning of heart valves (leakages or blockages)

• Presence of fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)

• Congenital heart defects

• Signs of clots, tumors, or infections inside the heart

Types of ECHO Available

• Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) – The most common form, done through the chest wall
