About this episode

This episode explores how ultrasound technology is used to examine the human heart through sound, featuring cardiac sonographer Victoria Rivera.

This week, we dive beneath the surface - exploring the human heart not through sight, but through sound. Joined by Victoria Rivera, a cardiac sonographer at Texas Children’s Hospital, we uncover the fascinating world of sonography and echolocation. Discover how sound waves reveal the inner workings of the heart, and get an inside look at one of the most incredible careers in modern medicine. ➡️ Level-Up Texas: ⁠More Info⁠ ➡️ Texas Children's Hospital: https://www.texaschildrens.org 💬 Submit your kids' questions! ⁠www.cumbrekids.org/questions⁠ 💛 Support this podcast by joining The Curious Club: ⁠LINK⁠ 🎙️ This episode is available in Spanish on our sister podcast, ⁠ Cráneo: Ciencia para niños curiosos ⁠ 🎧 More podcasts by Cumbre Kids: ⁠Learn more⁠ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A message for parents about our values: ⁠LINK
