Overview *
An Echocardiogram uses sound wave technology to create an image of your heart.
With an echo test, your doctors can observe:
- How the heart chambers and valves are working
- The flow of blood inside the heart
- Any inflammation of the heart membrane
- How strong the heart muscle is after a heart attack
- Any tumors on or in the heart
The technologist will attach electrodes to your chest, wrists, and ankles. These will be used to record an electrocardiogram at the same time that the echo is taken. The technician will move a transducer over your chest while placing a small amount of pressure on it and will ensure all areas of the heart are captured in the echocardiogram. This outpatient procedure is painless and involves no risk.
