What is an Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or echo, is a non-invasive ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. This allows doctors to evaluate the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow in real time.

Why is an Echocardiogram Needed?

Your doctor may recommend an echocardiogram to:

  • Assess heart function and pumping strength
  • Detect heart valve diseases or abnormalities
  • Identify fluid buildup around the heart (pericardial effusion)
  • Monitor congenital heart defects
  • Evaluate causes of chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats

How to Prepare for Your Echocardiogram

In most cases, no special preparation is needed for a standard echocardiogram. However, if you
are scheduled for a stress echocardiogram or transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), your
doctor may provide specific instructions, such as:

  • Fasting for a few hours before the exam (for TEE)
  • Wearing comfortable clothing and shoes (for a stress echo)
  • Avoiding caffeine or smoking before the test
