Echocardiography, or echo for short, is a key diagnostic test used by cardiologists to assess the heart. It utilizes high-frequency sound waves, also known as ultrasound, to generate images of the beating heart. Unlike other imaging modalities, echo is non-invasive and does not involve radiation exposure. During an echo, a transducer is moved around the chest area to direct sound waves towards the heart.
