Echocardiography

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart's structure and function. It helps detect abnormalities such as valve defects, chamber enlargement, and congenital heart conditions, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac diseases. Echocardiograms are essential in assessing heart function by measuring parameters like cardiac dimensions, pumping function, and flow velocities, assisting in the identification and management of conditions such as heart failure and cardiomyopathy. They also play a crucial role in guiding treatment strategies, monitoring disease progression, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes.
