IN DETAIL
Comprehensive Heart Ultrasound Assessment for Couples
The Couples Echocardiography (Heart Ultrasound) service at Phoenix Ultrasound is a comprehensive cardiac assessment designed for couples who wish to evaluate their heart health together in a single visit.
This package includes two individual adult echocardiography scans, one for each partner, performed separately and reported individually to ensure accurate and personalised assessment.
Echocardiography is a safe, non-invasive ultrasound examination that uses sound waves to produce real-time images of the heart, allowing detailed evaluation of cardiac structure and function without radiation exposure.
This service is ideal for couples who value preventative cardiovascular screening, have cardiac risk factors, or would like reassurance regarding their heart health.

04 / A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERINGYour questions.
Your questions.
Clear answers.
Need something more personal?
Speak to the team before booking.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. If your GP or specialist has asked for this scan, bring their letter so the sonographer knows what to focus on.
Is the echo the same as an ECG?
No. An ECG records the heart’s electrical activity; an echo is an ultrasound picture of the heart’s structure and pumping.
Do we need to be a couple?
No. Any two people can book together — partners, family members or friends.
What if I have chest pain?
Chest pain, severe breathlessness or fainting is an emergency. Call 999 — do not wait for a scan.
How do I book and confirm the price?
