Cardiac imaging (Echocardiography, Stress Echoes) is a non-invasive ultrasound test that provides a graphic outline of the heart’s movement, allowing cardiologists to evaluate the heart’s structure, function and blood flow. Performed by cardiac sonographers, it employs techniques such as 2D ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound and strain imaging to diagnose conditions like cardiomyopathy and valve disease.
