An echocardiogram is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function.
For Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) diagnosis, it allows visualization of the hole in the heart's septum, its size, and how it affects blood flow.
Echocardiograms are performed to confirm the size of the heart and evaluate its impact on heart function.
For ASD diagnosis, an echocardiogram can confirm the presence of ASD, assess its size and location. It is a key diagnostic tool in determining the extent of the defect.
