An echocardiogram (echo) is a test that helps doctors evaluate the strength and function of a child’s heart. The test uses sound waves to create a picture of the heart. The above video demonstrates a echocardiogram in two children undergoing cancer treatment. This video was designed to educate parents and caregivers by showing actual patients receiving treatment.

Echocardiogram An echocardiogram (echo) is a graphic outline of the heart's movement. During an echo test, ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) from a hand-held wand placed on your chest provides pictures of the heart's valves and chambers and helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart.

Echocardiogram In addition to this standard test, there are specialized echocardiograms: Contrast echocardiogram—A solution is injected into the vein and can be seen in the heart. Stress echocardiogram—This records the heart's activity during a cardiac stress test. Echocardiogram with Doppler ultrasound—This helps your doctor assess blood flow. Transesophageal echocardiogram—To provide clear images of the heart, the ultrasound device is put down your throat. Your doctor may need to use this test depending on what part of the heart needs to be viewed.

Echocardiogram This is a standard, noninvasive echocardiogram. A technician (sonographer) spreads gel on your chest and then presses a device known as a transducer firmly against your skin, aiming an ultrasound beam through your chest to your heart. The transducer records the sound wave echoes from your heart.

Echocardiogram Echocardiography is used to look at the heart of a child or fetus. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound that helps doctors to see the structure and function of the heart and to evaluate blood flow within the heart and blood vessels. It is very informative, and one of the most common tests that we do.

Electrocardiogram The echocardiogram shows the size of each of the four heart chambers and also the function of your heart's major pumping chamber, the left ventricle. Patients with damage from a heart attack or who have high blood pressure or valve problems will have abnormalities that are readily apparent on the echocardiogram.

Why Doctors Use Echocardiography Echocardiography is a modern technique that allows the physician to evaluate the heart without inserting any tubes or wires. This non-invasive method, like the sonogram pregnant mothers now routinely receive, uses sound waves, which reflect off the heart structures (hence the term echo) and are recorded to produce an image of the heart.

Echocardiagram An echocardiogram uses an ultrasound machine to take a scan of your heart. It is carried out by a specially qualified technician and is sometimes just called an ‘echo’, ‘echo heart’ or ‘echogram’. Ultrasound machines detect sounds with such high frequencies that they cannot be heard by humans. The test is called an echocardiogram because the sound ‘bounces’ or echoes back from the heart tissue to give an accurate picture of the heart. For example, ultrasound passes easily through fluid so there is little echo from the blood in the heart, which would otherwise affect the result.
