It is a Sonography of Your Heart. It gives live demonstration of structure and function of your heart. It is the test that helps doctors determine heart problems like pumping status of the heart (Ejection Fraction), Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Heart Valve Problem, Blockages, Congenital heart defects and enlargement of the heart.
