What Does My Echocardiogram Report Show?

The echocardiogram report is also known as echocardiography. It is a diagnostic test that makes use of ultraviolet waves to create an image of the heart muscle and adjoining valves. The ultrasound waves that rebound off the heart show the figure volume and movement of the heart's chambers and valves and also the blood-flow from the heart. Thus by virtue of echocardiogram report, doctors can evaluate the condition of the heart valves and also find out abnormalities in the blood flow. It is through the echocardiography that one comes to know about the severity of the coronary heart disease and also if the chest pain has anything to do with heart problems. The ultrasound scanners used in echocardiography are handheld and can be used even at the bedside of the patient, which means there is no need to transport him to the cardiological department.
