Assessment of Heart Function

Assessment of heart function involves evaluating how well the heart pumps blood and maintains circulation throughout the body. Common methods include physical examinations, listening to heart sounds, and using tests like electrocardiograms (ECG) to measure electrical activity, and echocardiograms to visualize heart structure and movement. Blood tests can also help assess heart health. These evaluations help identify conditions like heart disease, arrhythmias, or heart failure, guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies to ensure the heart functions optimally and supports overall health.
