An Echocardiogram test, also known as an ECHO, is a form of ultrasound exam that employs solid acoustic signals generated by the heart to analyse the heart. This test is done to detect any cardiac problems. It detects the mobility and thickness of the heart walls and the function of the heart valve. Diseases like cardiomyopathy, malignancies, and blood clots can be obtained using this method. Suppose you suffer fatigue, shallow breathing, or dizziness. In that case, you may be recommended to get myocardial echocardiography, especially if your heart sounds or an electrocardiogram (a test that analyses your heart's electrical activity) indicate that you have significant heart problems. It allows your doctor to evaluate the heart's structure from a variety of angles while monitoring the heart rhythm.... View more

Why book an ECHO test?

Doctors may advise this test in the following conditions:

To detect abnormality of heart associated with valves and pumping.
To detect heart muscle damage and any problem with the blood flow.
To detect any blood clots in the heart.
To determine problems with the aorta.
To detect heart defects.
To determine pacemaker related issues.
To detect functioning of the heart, especially after a heart attack.
To estimate the left ventricular ejection fraction while evaluating the efficacy of various cardiac therapies in situations such as heart failure.
If you have cardiac arrhythmia an irregular heartbeat, an ECHO can study your heart activity and assist in establishing the particular reason and best treatment.
Congenital heart diseases can also be diagnosed with an ECHO.

What all tests are included in the ECHO test?

Your ECHO will be conducted by a cardiologist, who will examine your heart images and modify the transducer to visualise additional views. MRI, CT scan ultrasound, angiography are some of the tests included in the echo test. Specialists advise these tests to get them close and 3D images of the heart with adjacent sections. These images define the heart functioning and any abnormality with more clarity which helps the specialist start the treatment. Any abnormality like pumping irregularity, abnormal heart rate, blood clotting, stones, muscle damage and any other similar obstruction in the blood flow through the heart is easily detectable through these tests. Here is the procedure of these tests:

While lying down on an examination table, a technician will put gel on your chest, followed by a transducer (a little instrument fashioned like a microphone). The transducer directs sound waves toward your heart.

The waves bounce off the heart’s structures before returning to the transducer to be collected.
A computer analyses them and displays a graphic representation of your heart thumping on a screen.
The technician spins the transducer around to examine your heart from different angles.
You may be asked to roll on your side or hold your breath for a few seconds during the exam.
