Echocardiography in Pediatrics

Echocardiography in pediatrics is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create moving images of a child's heart. It helps doctors assess heart structure, function, and blood flow, identifying issues like congenital heart defects or valve problems. The procedure is safe, painless, and typically performed with a probe on the chest or sometimes through the esophagus for better images. It provides valuable information to diagnose, monitor, and plan treatment for children's heart conditions without exposing them to radiation.
