Could an ultrasound of the heart detect heart damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The term is echo cardiogram, and can be done at rest or with exercise to see the heart wall, circulation, etc. To help the doctor determine if there is problems in those areas. Often combined with stress to watch how the heart responds to challenge of activity.
