The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, but with changes in lifestyle and environment, cardiovascular diseases are also increasing, posing a serious threat to human health. Medical ultrasound scanners can accurately diagnose and monitor the heart through non-invasive examination methods, providing important assistance for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This article will introduce the application of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of heart diseases.
1、 The significance of ultrasound scanner in the diagnosis of heart diseases
The heart is the main pump of the human body and plays a crucial role in internal circulation. In daily life, many people suffer from various degrees of heart disease, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, etc. These diseases require timely and correct diagnosis and treatment. As a non-invasive detection method, ultrasound scanners can quickly and accurately obtain image information inside the heart, thereby assisting doctors in diagnosing and monitoring heart diseases.
2、 The Application of Ultrasound Scanner in Cardiac Disease Examination
Examination of cardiac structure
Ultrasound scanners can conduct detailed examinations of the size, shape, and position of the heart. By observing the overall and local appearance of the heart, it is possible to assess whether there are tumors, proliferation, deformation, and other conditions in the heart.
Examination of endocardium and myocardium
Ultrasound scanners can observe the movement of the endocardium and myocardium of the heart to understand its systolic and diastolic functions. By observing parameters such as the degree, speed, and intensity of cardiac contraction and relaxation, the health status of the myocardium can be determined.
Examination of heart valves
Ultrasound scanners can also check the condition of heart valves. By observing parameters such as the opening and closing status, reflux status, and degree of calcification of the heart valve, the health status of the valve can be evaluated and the need for surgical treatment can be determined.
Examination of arteries and veins
Ultrasound scanners can examine the condition of large blood vessels around the heart and observe parameters such as vascular patency, stenosis, and occlusion. The risk of atherosclerosis and hypertension can be predicted by assessing the health status of blood vessels.
3、 The advantages of ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of heart diseases
Non invasive: Ultrasound scanner examination does not require any incision or needle insertion, and will not cause any harm or damage to the body.
Safe and reliable: The ultrasonic scanner does not use any radiation and will not have any side effects on the body, making it safe and reliable.
