Echocardiography is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-frequency sound waves to view the structures of the heart and how well they function. It may be used to assess heart function after a heart attack or in the presence of symptoms such as abnormal heart sounds, chest pain, difficulty breathing and irregular heartbeats. It can also detect fluid collection around the heart.
