I want to get an echocardiogram done in Bangkok to send to a doctor I know in Oz. What's the form in getting this done? Is it a simple walk in, ask and wait or what? I am happy to see a consultant cardiologist here but I really want my own doctor to check this out without having to travel to Oz. Any pointers would be much appreciated. I was thinking of St Louis, any other suggestions? Many thanks

There are

1. Trans-thoracic echo'
2. Trans-esophageal echo'
3. Stress echo'

You need to inquire of your Aus doctor which type of test is required.

I am presuming it is number 1 but I will check. Thanks.

Yes, bog standard trans-thoracic echo - no bells and whistles.

You'll need to see a cardiologist first to get the test ordered.

There is a very good one at Bangkok Christian Hospital, Prof. Taworn. You'll have to call the hospital for his hours as their website is now only in Thai. Tel : 0-2625-9000, 0-2235-1000

Thanks Sheryl.

That is not a helpful comment.

If you believe otherwise then say why and how the test can be done/obtaind without the need to see a Cardiologist.
