Cardiac Echo

Cardiac Echo, often referred to as a echocardiogram or simply an echo, is a sonogram of the heart. Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart. It can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart, pumping capacity, the location and extent of any tissue damage, calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function and can also help to detect cardiomyopathies.
