Heart Rhythm Center

Or ‘Echo’ for short, an Echocardiogram graphically outlines the heart’s movement during what is called an “Echo Test”, where a sonographer uses an ultrasound via a handheld device on your chest to then provide imaging of the patient’s heart valves and chambers. Its most vital function is the ability to track the heart’s pumping action.

​

The Cleveland Clinic provides a further, more in-depth explanation of the uses, needs, and functions of an Echocardiogram as well as what symptoms that may cause you to ask your doctor for one.
