Echocardiogram

Echocardiogram at Ashtead Hospital

What is an Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves to build images of your heart’s structures. It can create pictures of your heart chambers, valves and walls as well as your blood vessels (aorta, arteries, veins) that are attached to your heart.

Echocardiogram is sometimes shortened to echo or called echocardiography or diagnostic cardiac ultrasound.
