An echocardiogram is recommended to evaluate suspected heart valve disease, heart failure, congenital heart defects, or the source of a heart murmur detected on examination. It is also used to assess heart function after a heart attack or before major surgery in patients with known or suspected cardiac risk.

Signs You May Need Echocardiogram

Patients are typically referred for this test if they experience breathlessness on exertion or while lying flat, swelling in the legs or abdomen, unexplained fatigue, palpitations, or chest pain. A murmur heard by a doctor during a routine check-up, even without symptoms, is a common reason for ordering an echocardiogram.

Types of Echocardiogram

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), performed by moving a probe over the chest wall, is the standard first-line test, while a transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) passes a small probe down the oesophagus for a closer, more detailed view of the heart, often used before certain surgeries. Stress echocardiography combines the ultrasound with exercise or medication-induced stress to assess how the heart performs under exertion.
