To monitor your heart's electrical rhythm and rule out atrial fibrillation, an uncontrolled and ineffective beating pattern which can lead to blood clot formation in the heart. The danger of these clots is that they can be pumped from your heart to your head which can cause a stroke.

                  To rule out hypertension (high blood pressure).

Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves (sound high above the range of human hearing) to view the heart. We take pictures of the heart chambers and valves, measure chamber sizes and heart wall thickness, measure the pumping capacity of the heart, and look at the blood flowing through the heart valves and chambers. These images and measurements allow us to evaluate for a great variety of heart diseases and abnormalities, both congenital (present at birth) and acquired (developed with age, through heredity, or through external sources).
