Cardiac Asthma – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Cardiac Asthma Diagnosis

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram, also known as a transthoracic echo or cardiac echo test, is a non-invasive ultrasound test that can be used to measure the pumping activities of the heart. This is the best method to visualize the function and movement of heart valves and muscles. By doing an echocardiogram, your doctor would find out any problems in this organ that would lead to the symptoms of cardiac asthma. More importantly, he or she would determine exactly the affected areas for better treatments. [9]
