An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a three-dimensional, moving image of your heart. An echo uses Doppler ultrasound technology. It is similar to the ultrasound test done on pregnant women. The echo machine emits sound waves at a frequency that people can't hear. The waves pass over the chest and through the heart. The waves reflect or "echo" off of the heart, showing:
-
The shape and size of your heart
-
How well the heart valves are working
-
How well the heart chambers are contracting
-
The enjectiion fraction (EF), or how much blood your heart pumps with each beat.
