Are there different types of surface echoes for your heart or do they all look at the same things and measure the same things?

Complicated: There is only 1 surface echo (a transthoracic echo) and 1 internal echo (transesophageal). The basic procedure for a surface echo is always the same and the core exam checks everything, but each exam is tailored to the specific indication and sometimes special contrast agents and/or manipulations are used to better visualize specific structures.

Heart sounds: There are 4 heart chambers and 4 valves and according to the defect and its nature and location we can have diferent sounds. Sometimes we have insignificant sounds called innocent murmurs.
