Transthoracic Echocardiogram

A transthoracic echocardiogram (echo or TTE) is a procedure where a technician places an ultrasound probe on the outside of the chest and abdominal wall with a gel-like substance to transmit sound waves into the body. The characteristics of reflected sound waves are used to assess the shape and function of the heart, its valves, and the location and extent of any abnormalities.

Echocardiography is widely used in the diagnosis, management and follow up of patients with suspected or known heart diseases.

Dr Nowakowski is a highly trained echo specialist in Canberra, with more than two years of fellowship training in echocardiography at world-renowned centres of excellence. He is the clinical lead of echocardiography at The Canberra Hospital.
