EcocardiografÃa
Nombres alternativos:
Ecocardiograma transtorácico (ETT); Ultrasonido Doppler del corazón; Ecocardiograma de superficie
Valores normales:
Una ecocardiografÃa normal muestra las cámaras y válvulas del corazón en estado normal y un movimiento normal de las paredes cardÃacas.
Significado de los resultados anormales:
Una ecocardiografia anormal puede significar muchas cosas. Algunas anomalÃas pueden ser muy pequeñas y no ofrecer riesgos significativos, mientras que otras son signos de enfermedades cardÃacas muy serias que requieren una evaluación posterior por parte de un especialista. Por lo tanto, es muy importante discutir los resultados de la ecocardiografÃa en detalle con el médico.
