Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram, also known as a heart ultrasound examination, can help assess the structure and function of the heart. It may provide information on heart size, heart muscle contraction, heartbeat, pumping function and heart valve movement.
This examination may help identify possible abnormalities, support the assessment of cardiovascular conditions, and assist with evaluation before or after certain heart procedures.
However, an echocardiogram does not show coronary artery disease directly. Image quality may also be affected in individuals who are significantly overweight or who have emphysema.
