What is Echocardiography ? Insights from Dr Akhlaque Ahmed

Dr Akhlaque Ahmed, Consultant, Interventional Cardiology at Narayana Hospital - Brahmananda, Jamshedpur, talked about echocardiography, which is a diagnostic procedure that uses ultrasound to create images of the heart and surrounding blood vessels. During an echocardiography, healthcare providers assess the structure of the heart and its valves, along with an evaluation of the heart's pumping function.
This test is essential for detecting conditions such as valve abnormalities (such as narrowing or leakage) and accurately measuring the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. Ideally, a normal heart pumps blood at a rate of 60-65%. However, echocardiography does not provide detailed information about the coronary arteries. For this purpose, doctors may recommend coronary angiography, a separate procedure.
Overall, echocardiography is vital for obtaining detailed information about the heart's health and function, helping diagnose and manage various cardiac conditions.
