An Echocardiogram (Echo) uses sound waves to see how your heart is beating and pumping blood.
Test Description
What is it?
Echocardiogram (“Echo”) is a non-invasive test that allows your doctor to see how your heart is beating and pumping blood. It uses sound waves through a hand-held transducer to produce images of your heart.
Why do I need this test?
The procedure may be used to look for abnormalities of the heart muscle, valves or the main blood vessels. It may be ordered if there is suspicion of an enlarged or weakened heart, unexplained shortness of breath, dizzy episodes, and fainting. An Echo can detect the cause of a heart murmur.
