ECHO Test

An echocardiogram, often referred to as an “echo test,” is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create real-time images of the heart’s structure and function. This diagnostic test provides valuable insights into the heart’s chambers, valves, and the blood flow within, helping cardiologists evaluate heart health, detect abnormalities, and assess cardiac conditions. Echocardiography is essential in diagnosing heart diseases, such as heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, and heart failure. It also aids in monitoring treatment effectiveness and guiding surgical interventions, making it a critical tool for assessing and preserving heart function and overall cardiovascular health.
