Can Echocardiography Detect Heart Valve Problems?

Echocardiography can help doctors detect and evaluate problems affecting the heart valves. Using sound waves, an echocardiogram creates moving images of the heart and shows how the aortic, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary valves are functioning. It can help identify valve narrowing (stenosis), leakage (regurgitation) and certain structural abnormalities. Echocardiography can also assess blood flow, heart chamber size and the heart's pumping function. Doctors may recommend an Echo for symptoms such as breathlessness, chest discomfort, palpitations or an abnormal heart murmur. Aarna Diagnostic Centre provides echocardiography for detailed assessment of heart structure and function.
