Informations générales

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create a detailed image of the heart. It helps diagnose various heart conditions by providing visuals of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood vessels. By capturing echoes from the heart, it enables the detection of issues such as valve problems, murmurs, and congenital defects. This procedure aids cardiologists in assessing heart function, identifying muscle damage, blood clots, and fluid accumulation around the heart. Different types include transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms, each serving specific purposes in evaluating and treating cardiovascular concerns.
