to further investigate your heart

Echocardiograms play a crucial role in assessing heart muscle function, particularly after a heart attack, and are also used to identify congenital heart defects in unborn babies.

This procedure is painless and carries minimal risks, with rare exceptions in cases involving specific types of echocardiograms or the use of contrast agents.

Doctors may recommend an echocardiogram for several reasons, such as unusual results from other tests or abnormal heart sounds detected during an examination. If you have symptoms like an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, or an abnormal EKG, your doctor may suggest this test to examine your heart’s valves, chambers, and overall pumping efficiency.
