Echocardiogram is an image of the heart using ultrasound. An ultrasound beam is transmitted into the body using a device known as transducer. Transesophageal echocardiogram or TEE test, is obtained by introducing a special type of transducer, also called a TEE probe, through the throat into the food pipe (esophagus) and stomach.

Usual colour Doppler echocardiogram is superimposition of colour Doppler images on a two dimensional echocardiogram. Colour M-Mode is superimposition of colour Doppler images on an M-Mode echocardiogram. Colour Doppler echocardiography receives the ultrasound signals reflected from moving red blood cells in the heart.

Ultrasound image of the heart – echocardiogram, showing fluid collection around the heart, marked as PE, short for pericardial effusion. Collection of fluid within the covering of the heart is called pericardial effusion. If it is severe enough to compress the heart, it prevents proper filling of the heart and blood pressure falls.

Sometimes mild pericardial effusion may be detected by an echocardiogram done for other causes. Pericardial effusion is usually confirmed by an echocardiogram (ultrasound study of the heart). When the quantity is large enough to compress the heart, the person may feel breathless or dizzy because of a fall in blood pressure.

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. The image shown here is an animated 2 dimensional echocardiogram. This one is an older mode known as time-motion mode or M-Mode echocardiogram. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.
