Echocardiography
SonoSite's ultrasound systems enable you to evaluate cardiac anatomy and functionality on the spot, so you can make faster, more confident decisions regarding patient treatment. Here are some of the ways SonoSite ultrasound systems are used in diagnostic and point-of-care cardiology:
- Quickly and effectively identify cardiac pathologies, including valvular disease and pericardial effusions
- Determine heart size and quantify both heart and valvular function to assess disease process and monitor progression
- Intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements of common carotid arteries for assessment of cardiovascular disease progression and risk
- Guide cardiac surgical procedures such as coronary bypass, valve repair or replacement, and closure device placement within the septum
