What types of things can a doctor glean from an echo result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several...: The echo shows the overall function of the heart. It will tell how much blood is being pumped out to the body as a fraction of what is in the ventricle. It will show any valve abnormalities. It can also show if there are congenital defects, including holes in the septum.
