How accurate is the echocardiography?

 The echocardiography is highly accurate. It can detect problems with the heart muscle, valves, and other structures.

Echocardiography is a test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the heart. It is one of the most common tests used to diagnose heart problems. The test is noninvasive and usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Echocardiography can be used to measure the size and shape of the heart, as well as how well the heart valves open and close. It can also show areas of damaged or scarred heart muscle.
