Trinity Health Michigan uses transthoracic echocardiogram to take a closer look into your heart in order to attain an accurate diagnosis. From there, our expert team of physicians and surgeons can determine the proper treatment plan for your condition.

What is a Transthoracic Echocardiogram?

A transthoracic echocardiogram is a specific type of echocardiogram that uses ultrasound waves through the chest wall to take a picture of your heart.

Our Advanced Technology

Trinity Health Grand Rapids Hospital was the first hospital in Grand Rapids to feature Philip's Live 3D and strain rate imaging on all of our echocardiography machine. We've been using this technology since 2012 and all of our staff is trained in the newest advances of 3D and strain imaging. This technology is our standard of care for patients undergoing cardiotoxic chemotherapy and other cardiovascular disease.
