About ECHO
ECHO (Echocardiography) uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. It shows the heart's chambers, valves, walls, and blood flow patterns.
ECHO is essential for diagnosing heart valve disease, heart failure, congenital heart defects, and monitoring heart function after a heart attack. It is safe, painless, and provides detailed cardiac information.
ECHO gives a real-time view of your beating heart — helping doctors assess heart function, valve health, and detect abnormalities with precision.
