Echocardiography is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that allows healthcare providers to assess the heart’s chambers, valves, blood flow and overall pumping efficiency. Echocardiography is commonly referred to as an “echo”.
Your healthcare provider might order an echocardiogram to assess heart valve function, heart muscle health, blood flow, congenital (present at birth) heart defects, and overall heart function.
