Echocardiogram Test

What is an Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram is a safe, non-invasive ultrasound test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of your heart. This diagnostic tool provides cardiologists with real-time information about your heart's structure, function, and blood flow.

Types of Echocardiograms

• Transthoracic Echo (TTE): Standard heart ultrasound - most common type
• Transesophageal Echo (TEE): Detailed imaging through esophagus
• Stress Echo: Heart function assessment during exercise
• 3D Echo: Advanced three-dimensional imaging

What It Shows

Echocardiogram provides comprehensive information about heart function, valve problems, structural abnormalities, and blood flow patterns. It's essential for diagnosing heart conditions and monitoring treatment effectiveness.
