Can heart disease be diagnosed or ruled out by echocardiography?

The main purpose of cardiac ultrasound examination is to observe the structure and function of the heart. For example, congenital heart disease and valvular disease can be diagnosed and excluded by echocardiography. For other heart diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmia and so on, echocardiography can only provide information about the structure and function of the heart. It can not only rely on echocardiography to diagnose or rule out heart disease. It can determine what type of congenital heart disease it belongs to. In order to determine whether the operation and operation plan.

For some patients with congenital heart disease, it can determine what type of congenital heart disease it belongs to, so as to determine whether the operation and operation plan. For some patients with atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect undergoing interventional transcatheter closure, echocardiography can also be used to detect whether the occluder is properly placed during the operation.
