Echocardiography, also known as “Echo,” is one of the most important and safest tests doctors use to understand how your heart is working. In this video, we explain step by step what echocardiography is, why doctors recommend it, and what information it provides about your heart’s health.
You will learn:
✅ Why echocardiography is done (chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, suspected valve disease, or heart failure).
✅ How the procedure is performed (gel on the chest, ultrasound probe, live video of the heart).
✅ What doctors can find (pumping strength, valve problems, clots, holes, abnormal shapes, or blocked blood flow).
✅ Limitations of echo (image clarity issues, operator dependency, and when advanced tests like angiography are needed).
✅ What research and guidelines say (echo is considered the cornerstone test for detecting heart problems, with 80–90% accuracy in valve disease and heart failure).
This test is:
• Completely painless
• Radiation-free
• Quick (20–30 minutes)
• Safe and reliable
If you or a loved one ever experience chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness, echocardiography is often the first test recommended by doctors to detect heart problems early and guide treatment.
