The difference between echocardiography and electrocardiogram and the need to use them Heart diseases require quick and accurate treatment due to the dangers that follow.... This risk may also lead to death, which often causes many worries for people.... But the important issue in heart diseases is their timely diagnosis.... With the advancement of technology in medical science, these concerns have decreased.... To diagnose heart problems, tests such as echocardiogram and electrocardiogram test are recommended.... The specialist doctor determines what method the patient should use to diagnose the disease? ### What is the difference between echocardiography and echocardiography?.. In this section, we want to explain the difference between echocardiogram and echocardiography with a brief explanation about both methods.... We know that both methods are used to diagnose heart disease, but the difference is in the type of their function.... **Echocardiography** In the echocardiogram, an image of the heart is taken with sound rays... these sound rays have a very high frequency... this method helps the doctor to provide a more accurate diagnosis of the disease... this method is also considered a way for heart diseases that records the heart's activities electrically.... The electrocardiogram or electrocardiogram has checkered papers in its structure that records the heart's activities through waves.... Echocardiography is used in sensitive cases as follows:

- presence of clotted blood inside the heart - Detecting the presence of fluid inside the sac around the heart - Diagnosis of a problem in the main artery connected to the heart, the aorta - Diagnosing problems and discomforts related to blood pumping by the heart - To diagnose problems related to heart valve function

But we will mention the main differences between echocardiography and EKG test in this section case by case: - An echocardiogram must be performed by a specialist... but an echocardiogram test is also performed by an intern... Heart problems need an echo, the heart needs help.... In such cases, an echocardiogram does not help.... - Sometimes, an echocardiogram may not be able to provide a reliable and accurate result due to external factors... Ventricles atriums Cavities of the heart Blood vessels, nerves and blood vessels such as coronary arteries Heart wall muscles - The only thing that the electrocardiogram does is to show the function of the heart electrically... - Echocardiography is generally more advanced than the echocardiogram test... well... these two tests, in addition to their differences, also have similarities, which we will discuss below:

- There is no need for prior preparation in any of these two methods... - In the process of these tests, surgery or cutting is not done.... - Neither of these two methods require a recovery period.... - Both are diagnostic methods for the presence or absence of heart problems and diseases...
