Cardiological assessment

Examination of heart murmur

If you experience heart murmur, you can get a cardiological assessment, i.e. an assessment by a heart specialist. The assessment is based on an ultrasound examination of your heart, also known as echocardiography.

What is echocardiography?

Echocardiography is an ultrasound examination of the heart. Using ultrasound, it is possible to produce an image of the structure of the heart (ventricles, atria and valves), calculate the size of the heart and measure the pumping capacity.

How is echocardiography performed?

The scan is performed by a specialist in cardiology, who places a transducer, i.e. an ultrasound head, on the middle of your chest. By moving the transducer towards different parts of the heart, the specialist creates a detailed image of the state of your heart. The examination lasts approx. ½ hour and you do not have to fast. There is no discomfort in connection with the examination.
