About the doctor
For Galina Blumentale, an echo is more than a picture on a screen. When the scan is finished, she does not stop at the report: she shows what can be seen, explains it in plain words and answers the patient's questions.
She compares a new scan with what the patient already has, so you can see how the condition of the heart has changed over time, not only how it looks today.
When to book
The main reasons to book an echocardiogram.
A scan ordered by a cardiologist or general practitioner.
Symptoms that are a reason to check how the heart is working.
A doctor heard a murmur — an echo shows what is happening inside the heart.
Assessing the condition of the heart before an operation.
Checking the heart before you start or increase exercise.
A repeat scan if changes were found earlier.
Echocardiography
A heart echo is an ultrasound scan of the heart and one of the main ways to check how it is working. It uses sound waves only, with no radiation, so the examination is harmless.
You lie on a couch and the doctor places a probe on your chest. It is painless.
The screen shows the walls of the heart contracting, the valves opening and the blood moving.
The appointment usually takes about half an hour, and you learn the outcome straight away.

The clinic works with Balta, Seesam and BTA insurance companies. Coverage depends on the terms of your policy — please check with your insurer or ask the administrator when booking.

Google reviews
I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to book — especially considering I had only been in Latvia for a couple of days. Very convenient.
I have had ultrasound scans in many places, but I have never met such an attentive and professional approach. They explained everything, answered my questions, and you can feel that they care about the patient.
