What Is an Echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram, often called an echo, is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your heart. It provides vital information about your heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow. At Rumi Medical Clinic, our echocardiogram technology enables our team to detect abnormalities and monitor heart conditions with precision.
When Is an Echocardiogram Recommended?
Your healthcare provider may recommend an echocardiogram if you experience symptoms or have conditions such as:
- Chest pain or shortness of breath.
- Heart murmurs or irregular heartbeats.
- Unexplained swelling in the legs or abdomen.
- Family history of heart disease.
- Monitoring after a heart attack or heart surgery.
Echocardiograms are also commonly used as part of routine evaluations for individuals at risk of cardiovascular issues.
What to Expect During an Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram at Rumi Medical Clinic is a simple, non-invasive procedure performed in a comfortable setting. During the test, a technician will apply a gel to your chest and use a handheld device called a transducer to capture images of your heart. The process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
Our providers will review the results with you and discuss any findings in detail.

Echocardiograms are invaluable for diagnosing and managing various heart conditions, including:
- Heart valve disorders, such as stenosis or regurgitation.
- Congenital heart defects.
- Heart muscle diseases, including cardiomyopathy.
