Echocardiography uses sound waves to create images of the heart and its blood vessels.
During an echocardiogram, a transducer sends and receives sound waves that bounce off structures in the heart.
Echocardiograms provide detailed images of the heart's structure, function, and blood flow.
Echocardiography is used to diagnose heart conditions, assess heart function, and monitor treatment effectiveness.
Echocardiograms are non-invasive and generally safe, with no exposure to radiation.
