Cardiac Ultrasound Service at Hermina Pandanaran General Hospital
Echocardiography (ECG) is a medical device used to examine the structure and function of the heart using ultrasonic waves. Echocardiography is useful for people with heart disease or when there are symptoms related to heart disease. The image or echocardiogram will be examined by the doctor to determine the condition of the structure and function of the heart. Information that emerges from the echocardiogram includes:
Blood clots in the chambers of the heart
Fluid in the sac around the heart
Problems with the aorta or the blood vessels connected to the heart
Problems with the pumping function of the heart
Problems with heart valve function
Pressure on the heart
Echocardiography is also the key to determine the condition of the heart muscle, especially after a person has a heart attack. Congenital heart disease in infants can also be detected from this procedure. Friends of Hermina can perform an ultrasound examination of the heart (Echocardiography) at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.
