Details.
An ultrasound test used to examine the heart, including the chambers, valves and major blood vessels. The procedure is performed by a cardiac technician, with ultrasound images reviewed by a VCS cardiologist before the final report. A referral from a doctor or specialist is required. No special preparation is necessary for a resting echocardiogram. Patients should bring their referral to the appointment. Echocardiograms are available in Glen Waverley, Melbourne City and Richmond.
