Introduction
Dynamic color Doppler echocardiography, commonly known as cardiac ultrasound, is typically used to evaluate the basic condition of the heart, heart valve diseases, and congenital heart defects. This examination primarily assesses the internal structures of the heart. Through cardiac ultrasound, the size, shape, and internal structures of the heart can be observed, and myocardial motion as well as cardiac function can be evaluated.
Dynamic color Doppler echocardiography, commonly known as cardiac ultrasound, is typically used to evaluate basic heart conditions, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart disease. Specific details are as follows:
1. Basic Heart Condition
Cardiac ultrasound primarily examines the internal structures of the heart. It allows visualization of the heart's size, shape, and internal anatomy, including the dimensions of the left and right atria, thereby helping assess the heart's fundamental condition.
2. Valvular Heart Disease
Cardiac ultrasound can dynamically display the heart's internal structures and provide a direct view of the heart valves, enabling observation of valve function, such as whether there is regurgitation or structural abnormalities. It is commonly used in diagnosing valvular heart disease.
3. Congenital Heart Disease
Cardiac ultrasound can also assess myocardial motion and cardiac function. In patients with congenital heart defects, this imaging modality is often effective for diagnosis.
In addition, cardiac ultrasound can evaluate myocardial status. Patients experiencing cardiac discomfort should seek medical attention promptly, actively cooperate with physicians for examinations, and receive timely treatment after diagnosis to avoid disease progression.
