Echo for Mirtal Stenosis is performed to evaluate the severity of narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart.
When this test is required
It is usually requested by a cardiologist when a patient is suspected of having mitral stenosis, or when a patient with known mitral stenosis is being monitored for disease progression or treatment effectiveness.
What the Test Detects
This test uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart to evaluate the size, structure, and function of the mitral valve. It can help to assess the degree of narrowing of the valve and the amount of blood that is flowing through it.
Preparation for the Test
No special preparation is needed for this test.
Sample Requirements
No sample is required for this test.
Additional Notes
Echo for Mirtal Stenosis is a non-invasive test that does not use radiation. It is generally safe and well-tolerated by most patients.
