echocardiographic images
Echocardiographic images are real-time ultrasound pictures of the heart, showing its structure and function. They depict the size and shape of chambers, the movement of the heart walls, and blood flow through the valves and vessels. Think of it as an ultrasound "movie" that helps doctors assess how well the heart is pumping, whether the valves are working properly, and if there's any damage or weakness. These images are safe, non-invasive, and provide critical insights into heart health, guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions effectively.
