Sound-wave imaging — safe, painless, radiation-free.
Cardiac ultrasound uses harmless sound waves to create live, moving images of your heart. There are no needles, no dye, and no radiation — just a small probe on your chest and a detailed picture of your heart at work. This imaging lets Dr. Kalafatic assess the heart's chambers, walls, and valves in real time: how strongly the heart pumps, whether valves leak or narrow, and whether previous damage has left its mark. It is a foundational test for diagnosing heart failure, valve disease, and more.
Many heart conditions are invisible on an exam but obvious on ultrasound. It answers the essential question: how well is your heart actually pumping?
