At My Heart, we offer private echocardiograms in Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
​
An echocardiogram, often called an "echo," is a non-invasive medical test that uses ultrasound to create images of your heart. It allows doctors to see the structure and function of your heart in real-time, helping them to diagnose and monitor various heart conditions.​
This test can show how well your heart is pumping blood, the thickness of your heart walls, and the function of your heart valves. It can also detect problems with blood flow within your heart and identify any blockages or leaks in the valves.​
We pride ourselves on using the latest advancements in cardiac diagnostic technology. ​​​​​​​​​
