Overview
Transthoracic echocardiography is used to diagnose cardiomyopathies and valvular heart diseases as causes of third degree heart block. Transesophageal echocardiogram aids in the diagnosis of valvular abnormalities like valve abscesses. Left ventricular function can be determined using an echo, before placement of a pacemaker or defibrillator.
