Echo

Echo, or Echocardiography, is a non-invasive ultrasound imaging test used to assess the heart’s structure and function. It helps in diagnosing heart diseases, detecting valve abnormalities, evaluating blood flow, and monitoring overall.

Echocardiography is a non-invasive ultrasound test that visualizes the heart's structure, function, and blood flow in real-time. It diagnoses conditions like: Valve defects (stenosis/regurgitation) Heart failure (ejection fraction measurement) Congenital heart disease (in infants/adults) Blood clots or pericardial fluid Using sound waves (no radiation), it produces dynamic images via: Transthoracic Echo (TTE): Probe on the chest. Transesophageal Echo (TEE): Detailed esophagus-guided imaging. Doppler Echo: Assesses blood flow velocity. Critical for pre-surgical planning and monitoring, it’s safe, painless, and widely accessible.
