Echocardiograms are essential for evaluating heart muscle function, especially after a heart attack, and can also detect congenital heart conditions in unborn babies. This non-invasive test offers detailed insights into heart health, enabling early diagnosis and timely treatment.
The procedure is safe and painless, with minimal risk involved. In rare instances, specific types of echocardiograms or the use of contrast agents may carry slight risks, but these are well managed by experienced medical professionals.
