Overview

Echocardiogram Insourcing

A Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) employs high-frequency sound waves in an ultrasound-based test to produce intricate, real-time images of the heart's structure and function. This non-invasive diagnostic technique is essential for evaluating the heart's chambers, valves, walls, adjacent blood vessels and blood flows.

Elective Services are the leading provider of echocardiography services nationwide and have recorded and reported several hundreds of thousands of echocardiograms (echos).

Using only BSE accredited highly experience senior cardiac physiologists or equivalent (EACVI) and following strict BSE guidelines, our high quality services have helped several hundreds of thousand patients have their TTE done.

ES have a huge pool of highly experienced BSE accredited Senior physiologists who can undertake:

  • Adult transthoracic echocardiograms
  • Paediatric transthoracic echocardiograms
  • Neonatal transthoracic echocardiograms

Stress tests
A stress test, commonly referred to as an exercise stress test or treadmill test, is a diagnostic method designed to assess cardiac function under physical exertion. As physical activity causes the heart to pump more vigorously and rapidly, this test helps uncover any issues with the heart's blood flow that might not be evident under resting conditions.

What our clients say

Elective Services have been quite flexible and accommodating in meeting our needs and are able to rota staff for weekend lists as well as weekday lists in our community centre. Their staff work to a high standard and follow the BSE minimum standards for Echo as well as adhering to our departmental protocols and escalation processes.

Our experience with Elective Services has been excellent and we would happily use them again in future. I would have no hesitation in recommending Elective Services to other hospitals.
