What is Echocardiography (ECHO)?

Echocardiography (ECHO) or “دل کا الٹراساؤنڈ” in Urdu is a non-invasive heart test that uses ultrasound waves to create live images of your heart. It helps doctors see how the heart muscles and valves are working and if there are any structural or functional problems. Apka Muaalij is here to find you the best Doctors for Echocardiography (ECHO) in Pakistan.

How Does Echocardiography (ECHO) Work?

  1. A handheld device called a transducer is placed on your chest.

  2. It sends ultrasound waves into your chest.

  3. These waves bounce back from your heart, creating real-time images on a monitor.

  4. Doctors can observe the size, shape, movement, and flow of blood through the heart.

Types of Echocardiography:
