Echo Cardiography

Echocardiography, often referred to as echo, is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess the structure and function of the heart. It utilizes ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart's chambers, valves, and surrounding structures in real-time. Echocardiography helps healthcare providers diagnose and evaluate various heart conditions, including heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, heart muscle abnormalities, and pericardial diseases. It provides valuable information about the heart's size, shape, pumping function, and blood flow patterns, aiding in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography is safe, painless, and widely used as a primary tool in cardiology for patient evaluation and monitoring.
