What role does echocardiography play in diagnosing congenital heart disease?
- Thread starter ElMachoTaco
- Start date
In summary, echocardiography plays a crucial role in diagnosing congenital heart disease by providing detailed images of the heart's structure and function. This non-invasive procedure allows healthcare professionals to detect any abnormalities or defects in the heart, such as holes in the heart walls or abnormal blood flow. Echocardiography also helps in monitoring the progression of the disease and assessing the effectiveness of treatment. It is considered a safe and efficient method for diagnosing congenital heart disease in both children and adults.

Welcome to the forum ElMachoTaco, unfortunately we no longer host discussions of philosophy, but I am sure you will find the discussions of the actual science fascinating.
