Imaging
Echocardiogram
Ultrasound of the heart — assesses chamber size, valve function, ejection fraction, and diastolic function.
Optimal Range
Ejection fraction 55-70% · Normal diastolic function
Why It Matters
Echocardiography detects structural heart disease including valve abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, and diastolic dysfunction — conditions that are common with aging and often asymptomatic until advanced. Early detection enables medical and lifestyle intervention.
