First, the basic principle of this review is that it uses ultrasound uses ultrasound.

These are sound waves imperceptible to the human ear which are also used for boat sonar. Similarly, some animals such as dolphins or bats are able to emit them to find their way.

In each

It is the same technology as that used for boat sonar. The ultrasound diffuses into the heart and bounces a bit like an echo.

This examination is performed on site, in the doctor’s office, or directly on your hospital bed (in case of emergency hospitalization).

• measure the size of the earbuds
• identify or confirm a pathology of the heart valves
• identify a heart defect
• to qualify the heart rate by visualizing the contractions of the heart muscle
