Echocardiography (ECHO): A Non-Invasive Heart Imaging Test
Echocardiography (ECHO) is a specialized imaging test that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It is a crucial diagnostic tool for evaluating heart conditions, assessing blood flow, and detecting abnormalities with precision.
What is an Echocardiogram?
ECHO is a non-invasive test that helps cardiologists visualize the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood vessels. It provides real-time images to assess heart function, detect structural issues, and evaluate the effectiveness of previous treatments or surgeries.
Who Needs an ECHO?
An ECHO is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Shortness of breath or fatigue
- Chest pain or palpitations
- Heart murmurs or suspected valve disease
- Hypertension-related heart issues
- Congenital or structural heart defects
- Heart failure or cardiomyopathy
