An echocardiogram test is a simple and safe way to look at how your heart is working. It uses sound waves (called ultrasound) to make moving pictures of your heart. These pictures show your heart’s size, shape, and how well it pumps blood.
Doctors often call it an “echo” test. It helps them find heart problems early, even before you feel any symptoms. At PrimeCare 360, Navi Mumbai, expert doctors use advanced echocardiography machines to give clear and accurate results for every patient.
