Overview
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with vertigo. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of underlying etiology of vertigo or to rule out cardiac cause of dizziness if true vertigo is not establisehd.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with vertigo. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in ruling our cardiac cause of dizziness if true vertigo is not confirmed.
- Use of echo-color Doppler ultrasound is helpful to look for plaque in extracranial vessels supplying blood to brain in patients with peripheral vertigo but exact cause still unidentified.[1]
