An echocardiogram (echo) is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create moving images of the heart. It allows your provider to evaluate the heart’s chambers, valves, wall motion, and blood flow, helping identify heart conditions such as heart failure, valve disease, or congenital heart defects.
Echocardiography may be recommended for patients who:
Experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations
Have a history of heart disease or heart attack
Are being evaluated for heart murmurs or valve problems
Require monitoring of heart function due to high blood pressure or other conditions
Need pre-surgical cardiac evaluation
The test provides essential information to guide accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Gel is applied to improve sound wave transmission
The transducer sends sound waves into the heart and records the echoes to produce real-time images
The provider may use different types of echocardiograms:
Transthoracic echo (TTE): Standard noninvasive imaging from the chest
Transesophageal echo (TEE): Probe inserted into the esophagus for detailed views
Stress echo: Combines exercise or medication with echo to evaluate heart function under stress
Most echocardiograms are painless, quick, and require no special preparation.
