Why an Echocardiogram Matters
Understand what cardiac ultrasound can reveal about valves, chambers, blood flow, and heart function.
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart. It lets a veterinary cardiologist see the chambers and valves in motion, measure blood flow, and assess how well the heart is working.
Because the study is real-time, it can answer questions that a physical examination or a single radiograph cannot. Results help guide treatment, anesthesia planning, and monitoring over time.
