What is ECG and ECHO?

ECG is short for Electrocardiogram or Electrocardiograph. Also known as EKG, due to the German spelling of ‘elektrokardiogramm’, it is a test that measures the pattern of electric pulses generated by the heart’s rhythm.

Echocardiograms (ECHO), on the other hand, is an ultrasound that examines our heart’s structure.

Both are non-invasive medical tests that assess the heart’s health and identify diseases that affect it.
