Overview

Key Features

Cardiac sonographers, also known as echocardiographers, use sophisticated diagnostic ultrasound equipment to produce dynamic real-time imaging of the heart's chambers, walls, valves, and great vessels to assist the physician in diagnosing cardiovascular disease. Cardiac sonographers complete important tasks, such as:

Acquiring information related to the heart's anatomy and physiology

Evaluating acquired and congenital cardiac abnormalities and associated complications

Evaluating narrowed or leaking heart valves

Looking for causes of murmurs, chest pain, shortness of breath

Tracking and evaluating chronic heart conditions

Aquiring images during an exercise or pharmacologic stress echocardiogram

Cardiac sonographers work directly with healthy and critically ill inpatients and outpatients of all ages. Most cardiac sonography procedures are noninvasive and are carried out in small, low-lit rooms. The sonographer can either stand or sit beside the patient, who is on a stretcher, exam talbe, or in a wheelchair. Sometimes the cardiac sonographer will transport a portable ultrasound to a patient's room, emergency department, and can perform echocardiograms in intensive care units.

The Cardiac Sonography program is offered at Thomas Jefferson University.
