ID: intracardiac-echocardiogram
An intracardiac echocardiogram (ICE) is a specialized form of echocardiography that involves the insertion of a catheter equipped with an ultrasound transducer directly into the heart. This technique allows for detailed visualization of the heart's structures and blood flow dynamics from inside the heart chambers, providing real-time images that can enhance the understanding of various cardiac conditions.
