What Is An Echo Cardiogram?

The sound waves produced by the transducer bounce off the heart structures and are converted into images that can be viewed on a monitor.
An echo, is to assess the structure and function of the heart. This non-invasive imaging test provides detailed information about the heart’s chambers, valves, and surrounding structures, allowing healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor a wide range of cardiac conditions.
