The cardiac ultrasound report looks particularly complex, and most patients may not understand what these data represent after receiving the report. So now let's learn how to view cardiac ultrasound?
Generally speaking, there are several keywords on a cardiac ultrasound report. There are indicators and reference values above, and ordinary indicators are accompanied by recorded normal reference values. Some congenital heart diseases may choose to use echocardiography, while some coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or pulmonary heart disease may require a combination of clinical examinations to make a correct diagnosis.
Normally, the main test values on the cardiac ultrasound report may not be exactly the same for each hospital, but the most important test indicators are generally included.
In order to determine if there are any abnormalities in the structure of the heart, it is necessary to check the size of the left and right atria and ventricles, as well as the inner diameters of the main arteries, to see if they are within the normal range. It is also necessary to check if the interventricular septum is intact and if its thickness is within the normal range.
In addition, patients need to assess whether their heart function is normal, whether there are any discrepancies between the diastolic and systolic function data and normal data, and whether the left ventricular systolic function is within the normal range of 50-70%. If it is below 50%, detailed consultation is required.
