An echocardiogram, often referred to as an “echo,” uses sound waves to create moving images of your heart. This advanced diagnostic tool allows our medical team to observe your heart beating, the blood flowing through your heart chambers, and to assess the condition of your heart muscles and valves. Unlike X-rays, echocardiograms do not use radiation, making them a safe option for all patients, including those who are pregnant and individuals with existing health conditions.
Echocardiograms are invaluable for diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions, from congenital heart defects to heart failure. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations, or if you need ongoing heart condition management, an echocardiogram provides critical insights that guide treatment decisions.
