Echocardiogram

The echocardiogram is a safe, painless and affordable diagnostic test, which offers a moving image of the heart, provides information about the shape, size, function, strength, movement and thickness of its walls and the functioning of its valves. In addition, you can provide information on the pulmonary circulation and its pressures, the initial portion of the aorta and see if there is fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion).
