Consultant Cardiologist
An echocardiogram (echo) is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound to provide detailed images of the heart's structure and function.
Echocardiogram test is a vital tool to diagnose a variety of heart problems, including heart attacks, blood clots, and valve issues. It helps in the detection of abnormalities such as enlarged chambers, stiffened muscles, and fluid accumulation around the heart.
Additionally, echocardiogram test is used to assess the overall cardiac health, particularly following a heart attack or stroke. This non-invasive test requires minimal preparation time.
