Meaning and Clinical Context
A non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique used to visualize cardiac structures, assess ventricular function, valvular abnormalities, and hemodynamics.
Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for evaluating cardiac structure and function, utilizing ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns through Doppler techniques.

Example in Use
English: Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe aortic stenosis with a calculated valve area of 0.8 cm² and a peak gradient of 80 mmHg.
Turkish: Transtorasik ekokardiyografi, 0.8 cm²'lik hesaplanan kapak alanı ve 80 mmHg'lık pik gradyan ile şiddetli aort darlığını gösterdi.
