What is an ECHO?
An Echocardiogram (ECHO) is an ultrasound-based imaging test used to examine the heart in real time.
It provides information about the size and movement of the heart chambers, the functioning of heart valves, pumping ability, and blood flow through the heart. Unlike an X-ray, ECHO does not use ionizing radiation.
ECHO may be recommended when a doctor needs detailed information about the heart's structure and function.
When is an ECHO Recommended?
Doctors may recommend an ECHO for patients experiencing or being evaluated for:
- Chest Pain or Discomfort
- Breathlessness
- Palpitations
- Dizziness or Fainting
- Swelling of the Legs
- Heart Murmurs
- High Blood Pressure
- Known Heart Conditions
- Valve-Related Conditions
- Heart Failure Symptoms
- Abnormal ECG Findings
- Pre-Operative Cardiac Assessment
- Routine Cardiac Evaluation When Clinically Indicated
What Can an ECHO Help Evaluate?
An ECHO can provide valuable information about:
- Heart Chamber Size
- Heart Muscle Movement
- Pumping Function
- Heart Valve Structure and Function
- Blood Flow Through the Heart
- Certain Structural Heart Abnormalities
- Fluid Around the Heart
- Changes Associated With Some Heart Conditions
ECHO findings are interpreted by an appropriate medical professional along with the patient's symptoms, medical history, examination, ECG findings, and other investigations when required.
