What Is Echocardiography?

Echocardiography—commonly known as an echo or cardiac ultrasound—is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce detailed images of the heart. This allows our veterinarians to assess:

  • Heart size and shape
  • Chamber and valve function
  • Blood flow patterns
  • Presence of heart murmurs, congenital defects, or fluid buildup

Unlike X-rays, which show the heart’s silhouette, echocardiography gives us a moving, live-action view of how your pet’s heart is working.

When Is an Echocardiogram Recommended?

We may recommend an echocardiogram if your pet:

  • Has a heart murmur
  • Shows signs of heart disease (e.g., coughing, fainting, exercise intolerance)
  • Has been diagnosed with a cardiac condition and needs monitoring
  • Is a breed prone to congenital or acquired heart conditions
  • Requires pre-anesthetic screening for surgery

Early detection can make a significant difference in managing heart conditions, especially those that are progressive or asymptomatic in early stages.

Our Approach to Cardiac Care

Our experienced veterinarians use echocardiography alongside other diagnostics—such as radiographs, EKG, and labwork—to create a complete picture of your pet’s cardiac health. Every step of the process is explained with compassion and clarity, so you understand your pet’s diagnosis and treatment options.

We partner with local specialists when needed, ensuring your pet receives the most comprehensive care possible.
