Overview
Echocardiogram is an important test for diagnosing and monitoring an enlarged heart as it gives a clear view of all the four chambers of the heart.

- Echocardiography (echo) is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of your heart. The picture shows how well your heart is working and its size and shape.
- Echocardiogram is recommended for those patients presenting with suspected valvular disease, ventricular dysfunction, and wall motion abnormalities.
