Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An echocardiogram, or “echo", is a scan used to look at the heart and nearby blood vessels. It’s a type of ultrasound scan, which means a small probe is used to send out high-frequency sound waves that create echoes when they bounce off different parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and an echocardiogram (echo) are tests that help find problems with the heart muscle, valves, or rhythm. You may need 1 or both of these tests before starting some cancer treatments, like certain chemotherapy or a bone marrow/stem cell transplant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The probe (transducer) is passed across your chest. The probe produces sound waves that bounce off your heart and “echo” back to the probe. The sound waves are change into pictures and displayed on a video monitor. The pictures on the video monitor are recorded so your doctor can look at them later.
