A member asked:
Is it possible to find atherosclerosis through echocardiogram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indirectly: An echo shows how the heart looks structurally and how it functions mechanically. Indirectly this can shed light on the likelihood of atherosclerosis by showing damage to the heart such as after an mi (affecting structure and function). A functional imaging study (stress echocardiogram) can test for the presence of significant coronary artery disease.
