Echocardiogram, often referred to as a cardiac echo or simply an echo, is a sonogram of the heart. (It is not abbreviated as ECG, an abbreviation for an electrocardiogram .) Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.
An echocardiogram, also known as an echo, is a test that uses sound waves to build up a moving picture of the heart.It is similar to the ultrasound scan used in pregnancy and is extremely safe.he additional use of Doppler (a special part of the ultrasound examination that looks at blood direction and velocity) may add an extra 10-20 minutes. However, it may take up to an hour when there are multiple heart problems and the echocardiogram is more complicated.
