Echocardiograms in Westmead — Local expert team
An echocardiogram (often called a heart ultrasound or “echo”) is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to assess your heart’s structure and function. At Heartcare Sydney, we perform echocardiograms right here in our Westmead clinic using hospital-grade equipment — interpreted by a local cardiologist. We offer:
- Urgent appointments with minimal wait times
- On-site interpretation by Dr Reza Moazzeni, a specialist cardiologist in Westmead
- A calm environment with personalised cardiac care
Whether your GP has recommended a heart scan or you’re experiencing symptoms like chest discomfort or shortness of breath, an echocardiogram is often the first step toward understanding what’s happening inside your heart.
For patients looking for an echocardiogram in Westmead or across the Parramatta region, we are just minutes away from Westmead Train Station and Hospital and offer easy access and fast reports.
What to Expect During Your Echocardiogram
- The scan takes around 20–30 minutes
- You will lie on a bed while a sonographer places a probe on your chest
- The test is painless and uses no radiation
- You’ll receive your results either same-day or within 24–48 hours, depending on urgency

An echocardiogram checks your heart’s structure and function. It helps diagnose valve problems, heart enlargement, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and other conditions.
In most cases, yes — but if you're unsure, call us directly and we’ll guide you.
It is partly covered by Medicare if you:
Have a valid referral from a GP or specialist
Meet appropriate clinical indications
Haven’t had the same test billed under Medicare in the last two years
At Heartcare Sydney, a gap fee applies. We’ll explain all fees before your appointment to ensure transparency.
No — it's non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation. It’s similar to a pregnancy ultrasound.
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Wear comfortable clothes and allow about 30 minutes for the appointment.
In most cases, yes — especially for urgent concerns.
