The heart is a vital part of your body that must be taken care of. Some conditions can come on suddenly or those that build up over time. Here at Polmed Primary Care – Walk-In Clinic, we understand that this can be a frightening time. If you need heart care, be sure to schedule an appointment or stop by the office. We provide a wide range of services, including an echocardiogram in Safety Harbor.

There are several reasons you may need this test scheduled or that your provider will recommend it. These include:

• Concern that there is a valve issue
• See if the heart is causing other symptoms such as pain in the chest or loss of breath
• A fetal echocardiogram can diagnose congenital birth defects before the child is born

What Is An Echocardiogram? 

This is a simple test that uses Doppler technology to take an inside look at your heart. It shows the valves, how blood is pumping through and can help the physician determine if an issue should be addressed. Sometimes the only way to get a good read is with a stress echo or a transesophageal echo. The physician will go over the best option for your situation.

Once the test is performed, we can take a look at the results right away. This helps to determine the course of action after the test.
