ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY LABORATORY

 

Our echocardiography service is staffed by 4 full time Cardiology Consultants, 2 full time Nurses, 4 clinical fellows and 4 trainees and performs over 8000 transthoracic scans per year. There are 4 static (GE E9, T8 and Vivid 3 and Philips ) and 1 hand held V-scan devices for use at the bedside by Cardiologists.

 

 

There is a regular stress echocardiography (≈350 studies/year) and a TOE service (≈300 studies/year). Three dimensional TTE and TEE, Speckle Tracking imaging and contrast echo studies are also performed regularly in our Lab.

 

Echo Lab has been awarded Advanced accreditation in TTE, TOE and Stress Echo by European Society of Cardiovascular Imaging, in 2016
