Contact Uswhat is an echo test?
An echo test is an ultrasound scan that helps board-certified cardiologist Dr. John K. Terzian study the heart’s structure and function. High-frequency sound waves echo from an ultrasound wand directed on the outside of your chest to create an outline of the heart’s valves and chambers. This image allows Dr. Terzian to analyze blood flow throughout the heart and evaluate its pumping chambers. If you’re experiencing any distress or discomfort, you can take an active role in your diagnosis and treatment. Schedule an appointment with our cardiac testing team at Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology in West Bridgewater, MA to learn more about the echo test and the different techniques we use to get details about your heart.
What Does an Echo Test Detect?
An echo test can help diagnose certain heart conditions, monitoring and checking the heart’s structure and function as it circulates and pumps blood. This test can help Dr. Terzian decide on the best treatment by detecting the following:
- Cardiomyopathy: Thickened or enlarged walls of the heart
- Endocarditis: Heart valve infection
- Heart failure: Lack of blood pumping in the body at the right pressure
- Heart damage: Sudden blockage of blood supply to the heart
- Congenital heart disease: Defects from birth that may affect how the heart works
- Heart valve problems: Difficulties with heart valves that control circulation within the heart
This test can also exhibit other changes in your heart that could lead to a blood clot, tumor, or aortic aneurysm.
Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised with my visit. I don't know what I expected but the Doctor was very thorough and asked many questions, which I loved. He did seem concerned and wanted to cover all my concerns. The front desk staff was ok. Overall I had a great experience.
Dr. John has been my doctor for four plus years and he always provides the best care for whatever is it that I need. The visits are extremely accommodating and the in person appointments are always efficient and quick. Very clean and spacious office as well. The staff are always welcoming. Thank you so much for all that you do for me!!
Great provider. Listens to all concerns and orders necessary tests. Always punctual. And has a great bedside manner. Have been their patient for the past five years. Highly recommend.
He explained to my husband and myself what we were facing. Also, his personality and bedside manner was superb. Not worried about this procedure at this time. Just waiting to have it scheduled. Office staff up front were caring and polite. Just be glad when all is done and over.
Dr John has been my Cardiologist for many years. He never acts hurried to move me along. The care I have gotten is exceptional!
