Can heart ultrasound detect cardiovascular problems?

Color Doppler ultrasound

is a non-invasive method that can assess the structure and function of the heart through ultrasound scanning. Color Doppler ultrasound can examine the function and structure of heart valves to see if there are stenosis, insufficiency or calcification. It can also detect the thickness, motion and contraction of the myocardium to determine whether there are myocardial diseases, such as myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, etc.

It should be noted that although color Doppler ultrasound can provide information on cardiovascular diseases, it cannot completely replace other cardiovascular disease examination methods, such as ECG, coronary angiography, etc.
