An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves to build images of your heart’s structures. It can create pictures of your heart chambers, valves and walls as well as your blood vessels (aorta, arteries, veins) that are attached to your heart.
Echocardiogram is sometimes shortened to echo or called echocardiography or diagnostic cardiac ultrasound.
An echocardiogram is used to diagnose and monitor heart conditions. It looks at the structure of your heart and its surrounding blood vessels, analyses how blood flows through them and assesses how well your heart functions.
Heart problems an echocardiogram can help diagnose include:
An echocardiogram can take between 15 minutes and an hour.
The cost of an echocardiogram will depend on the reason for your test and your Ramsay hospital of choice.
You will receive a formal quotation price for your echocardiogram following your consultation with one of our expert cardiologists. This formal quote for an echocardiogram will be valid for 60 days.
Ramsay is recognised by all major medical insurers. An echocardiogram is covered by most medical insurance policies as long as it is deemed medically necessary by your doctor. We advise you to obtain written authorisation from your insurance provider before your echocardiogram.
We have a number of finance options if you are paying for your echocardiogram test yourself. We offer interest-free finance so you pay 0% interest, no deposit and benefit from affordable monthly instalments.
An echocardiogram uses safe ultrasound to create a detailed picture of your heart. It helps doctors to diagnose heart problems.
At Ramsay Health Care UK, we invest in the latest technology and diagnostic equipment.
We work in partnership with experienced and skilled cardiologists who routinely perform echocardiograms. Their trained eye detects heart structure and functionality conditions and blood flow problems. Our expert cardiologists provide a reliable diagnosis and a recommended treatment if required.
Echocardiograms are available without waiting at convenient times to suit you at your local Ramsay hospital.
For peace of mind, all Ramsay hospitals follow strict infection control protocol to keep our patients and staff safe.

Hear directly from a patient, after a cancerous tumour was found in a scan and biopsy, they had treatment at The Yorkshire Clinic and were soon back to doing what they love - painting and decorating!
I would highly recommend The Yorkshire Clinic. I found my experience to be exceptional from start to finish, my surgeon is the nicest specialist I have ever met and the nursing staff are extremely professional and very caring.
