Echocardiology, also known as echocardiography, is a specialized branch of cardiology that utilizes ultrasound technology to visualize the heart's structure and function in real-time. This non-invasive imaging technique provides detailed images of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood vessels, allowing healthcare professionals to assess cardiac performance, detect abnormalities, and make accurate diagnoses. Echocardiology is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as heart failure, valvular diseases, congenital heart defects, and cardiomyopathies. It offers insights into the dynamics of blood flow, wall motion, and overall cardiac function, enabling cardiologists to tailor treatment plans based on individual patient needs.
