Echocardiography is a modern, noninvasive tool that is the gold standard for non-invasive, painless, cardiac imaging. Both the anatomy and function of the heart, as well as the internal structure can be clearly seen for the most part using this modern high resolution technology, allowing us to screen for potential issues with treatment, and diagnose a full spectrum of functional cardiac disorders.
Because we perform such a large amount of endovenous procedures, as well as chemical ablations, we most often check the heart for any defects, even very uncommon ones, that could result in complications from our normally very low risk procedures.
We are the only center routinely performing these checks routinely in the country, and this is just one more reason that we believe that the level of care and safety at our centers far exceeds that of any other institution for our specific procedures.
