What is a echocardiography?

Echocardiography is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. It helps in assessing the heart's size, shape, and movement, as well as evaluating blood flow and detecting any abnormalities such as valve issues or congenital heart defects. This non-invasive procedure is commonly used for diagnosing heart conditions and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
