Ultrasound-Guided Enlarged Heart Diagnosis

An enlarged heart may be the result of short-term stress on the body, such as pregnancy, or a medical condition, such as the weakening of the heart muscle, coronary artery disease, heart valve problems or abnormal heart rhythms.

Certain conditions may cause the heart muscle to become thicker or cause one of the chambers of the heart to dilate, making the heart larger. Depending on the condition, an enlarged heart may be temporary or permanent.

An enlarged heart can be caused by conditions that cause your heart to pump harder than usual or that damage your heart muscle. Sometimes the heart gets larger and becomes weak for unknown reasons. This is known as idiopathic cardiomegaly.

A heart condition you’re born with (congenital), to name a few, damage from a heart attack or an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) can cause your heart to enlarge.

In some people, an enlarged heart causes no signs or symptoms. Others may have these signs and symptoms:

·         Shortness of breath

·         Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)

·         Swelling (edema)

In terms of diagnosis, ultrasound imaging can be used to diagnose an enlarged heart because if this issue goes undetected, it can cause heart failure, blood clots, or cardiac arrest.

That is why, It’s important to get an ultrasound if shortness of breath, abnormal heart rhythm, and swelling in the body occur at the same time.

As you can see, ultrasound imaging is a critical tool in the diagnostic world. The only problem is that not all scanning devices used worldwide are effective and professional enough. Doctors and patients should be very careful about what exact device to use in order to guarantee clear scan images and so pertinent diagnosis.

In this regard, cardiologists often recommend the Color Doppler 3 in 1 Wireless Ultrasound Scanner 3in1-CLC1CD. This wireless ultrasound technology has the greatest potential for Enlarged Heart assessment. First, it has a cardiac probe that greatly aids the doctor to evaluate flow direction and velocity in order to better assess the heart’s condition. 

Subsequently, this technology allows the doctor/surgeon to immediately see clear scan results of the affected area of the heart, and followingly provides good information on the evolution of the issue and the possible treatment or medicines that should be taken.

What has been said so far should testify that this exclusive device has a superior Color image quality, accurate scan results, is cost-Effective, small and light, easy to carry and operate for evaluation of the critically ill since it exclusively measures volume and percent vascularity when combined with 2D Mode.

 All these advanced features make 3in1-CLC1CD one of the best ultrasound scanning machines that both patients and doctors can rely on if they are looking for an accurate diagnosis, paving the way for fast and effective treatment for the Enlarged Heart issue.
