An echocardiogram, or echo, is a diagnostic tool that utilizes sound waves to generate intricate images of the heart. This non-invasive examination helps medical professionals evaluate the heart's dimensions, structure, and the performance of its chambers and valves. It is instrumental in diagnosing a spectrum of cardiac conditions, including murmurs, valve irregularities, and heart failure. Echocardiograms can also uncover abnormalities in the heart muscle and detect the presence of fluid around the heart. This procedure is safe, comfortable, and offers vital insights to guide the treatment of heart ailments.
