Overview
There are no echocardiographic findings associated with Whipple's disease. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac complications in Whipple's disease.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with Whipple's disease. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac complications in Whipple's disease, which include:[1][2]
- Myocardial hypertrophy
- Endocardial and intramyocardial echogenic infiltrations in the heart
