cardiac echocardiography

Cardiac echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create detailed pictures of the heart’s structure and function. It helps doctors assess how well the heart chambers and valves are working, measure blood flow, and detect abnormalities like weak heart muscle or leaking valves. The procedure is safe, painless, and typically performed while the patient is lying down. By providing real-time images, echocardiography is a crucial tool for diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and evaluating the effectiveness of therapies.
