feewee Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Waiting for an echocardiogram up here in Canada is starting to become worrisome... has anyone recently had this procedure in Lakeside area and if so where and what was your experience. If you can share pricing that would also be helpful. Gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolphsj Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 San Antonio Hospital excellent experience. Don’t remember price but reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 I get all my stuff..... Doppler aortic ultrasound, cardios, MRI's and CT scans done in Guad. Don't personally want to go to SAH rip-off joint (yes, I'm entitled to my opinion as others are to theirs), and don't know enough about people here who will interpret them to be trustful. Have heard of some patients whose doctors were NOT impressed with results/interpretations of various tests..... local but from where? Absolutely get your butt down here and get on with your testing. My retired GP's wife in Canada is in URGENT need and they can't get anywhere near a date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 I am a patient of Dr. Hector Briseno at Quality Care. He does ECG's on all his patients in his office. Instant gratification. If you're coming down soon, book now because he's busy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Echocardiograma different than EKG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 They are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 6 minutes ago, Ferret said: They are the same. No, they are not. EKG uses electrodes to map heart electrical activity. Echocardiogram uses sound waves to make 3D images of the heart and to measure heart flows. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Thank you for the correction. An ECG and an EKG are the same. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
