What is a cardiac ultrasound examination?
An ultrasound examination of the heart, also known as echocardiography, is a painless, safe, and non-invasive diagnostic method in which ultrasound waves are used to display the structure and function of the heart in real time. This examination allows the physician to assess the work of the heart muscle, the heart valves, the size of the heart chambers, the thickness of the heart walls, and the flow of blood through the heart.
Heart ultrasound plays an important role in the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of various cardiovascular diseases, such as heart valve diseases, heart failure, congenital and acquired heart defects, heart rhythm disorders, and other diseases of the cardiovascular system.
At Poliklinika Beograd, the ultrasound examination of the heart is performed by experienced specialists using modern ultrasound equipment, which allows a precise assessment of the condition of the heart and the planning of further treatment or monitoring of the patient's health condition.
An ultrasound examination of the heart is most often recommended for:
- assessing the work of the heart muscle,
- examining the heart valves,
- detecting congenital and acquired heart defects,
- diagnosing heart failure,
- monitoring known heart diseases,
- checking the condition after cardiological treatment or surgical procedures.
The examination lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes, is completely painless, does not use radiation, and in most cases no special preparation of the patient is required.

Symptoms
An ultrasound examination of the heart is recommended when there are symptoms that may indicate heart disease or disorders of its function. This examination enables a detailed assessment of the heart's function and helps in establishing an accurate diagnosis.
The most common symptoms include:
- chest pain or tightness,
- difficulty breathing or shortness of breath,
- a rapid, slow or irregular heart rate,
- heart palpitations,
- elevated blood pressure,
- fatigue and malaise without a clear cause,
- dizziness or loss of consciousness,
- swelling of the legs, ankles or feet,
- a heart murmur detected during an examination,
- a follow-up after previously experienced or diagnosed heart diseases.
When these symptoms occur or upon the recommendation of a cardiologist, an ultrasound examination of the heart enables an assessment of the function of the heart muscle, valves and blood flow, as well as the timely detection of possible heart diseases and the determination of an appropriate treatment approach.
