Study Notes
Echocardiography Procedure
- Echocardiography is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
- It uses ultrasound to visualize heart structures (valves, walls, chambers) and heart function (ejection fraction).
- The procedure requires the client to lie still, breathe normally, and avoid talking.
- Obtaining informed consent is essential for any medical procedure.
- Using ultrasound is a component of the procedure.
- A client may talk during the procedure.
