ECHO

Echocardiography has become routinely used in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases.
It is one of the most widely used diagnostic imaging modalities in cardiology.
It can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart, pumping capacity, location and extent of any tissue damage, and assessment of valves.
An echocardiogram can also give physicians other estimates of heart function, such as a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function.
Echocardiography is an important tool in assessing wall motion abnormality in patients with suspected cardiac disease.
It is a tool which helps in reaching an early diagnosis of myocardial infarction, showing regional wall motion abnormality.
