About this procedure
An echocardiogram — an ultrasound of the heart that shows the chambers, valves, and how well it pumps in real time.
What to expect
30-60 minutes lying on your side while the tech moves a wand around your chest. You'll hear the heartbeat through the speaker. Painless. Usually ordered for shortness of breath, murmurs, or to monitor known heart conditions. Results within a day or two.
