It produces an image of your heart using sound waves.<br /><br />The test can identify the structure and pumping function of the heart, the thickness of the heart muscle and the movement of each heart valve, and can be used to create a detailed picture of the heart.<br /><br />During an echocardiogram, you will be asked to remove your top and a small handheld device called a transducer will be passed over your chest.<br /><br />Lubricating gel is put on to your skin to allow the transducer to move smoothly and make sure there is continuous contact between the sensor and the skin.stuartnoreply@blogger.com
