A member asked:
Can echocardiography determine whether heart surgery is needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart surgery: The decision to perform heart surgery is typically based on several factors depending upon the heart problem. An echocardiogram can be helpful in making a diagnosis but would not be the only procedure necessarily done to determine a need for a heart operation.
