An echocardiogram is a very important investigation done when evaluating the heart. The most common type done is called a transthoracic echocardiogram.
It is a non-invasive and painless ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart. It shows the structure (chambers, valves, walls) and function (pumping ability, blood flow) of the heart in real time.
