==Overview==
An echocardiogram may be used to assess the thickness of the heart wall, the size of the chambers in the heart, and the ability of the heart to fill and pump blood. Sometimes an unusual texture of the heart muscle or the [[endocardium]] (the lining of the heart) can be seen as well.
Transthoracic echocardiography is most commonly used in the initial evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis. The most common echocardiographic finding is thickening of the left ventricle.
