ECG, commonly known as an electrocardiogram, is a non-invasive procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It involves placing electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs to record the heart’s electrical impulses, which are then displayed on a graph. ECGs are valuable diagnostic tools used to detect various heart conditions, including arrhythmias, heart attacks, and abnormalities in the heart’s structure.
Echocardiography, or ECHO, is another essential diagnostic tool used to assess the structure and function of the heart. It utilizes ultrasound technology to create detailed images of the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood vessels.
By visualizing the movement of blood and assessing the heart’s pumping function, echocardiograms help healthcare providers diagnose conditions such as valve disorders, cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart defects.
Both ECG and ECHO are essential components of cardiovascular health assessment, allowing healthcare providers to identify and monitor heart conditions accurately. These diagnostic tests are often performed as part of routine health screenings, during cardiac evaluations, or in response to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations.
