What Does Cardio Echo Test Diagnose?

My fiancé is scheduled for a Cardio echo next week. He has done two sleep studies and they were going to fit him for a c-pap mask but his doc called and said they think his breathing patterns could be related to his heart. What is measured at an echo? What are they looking for?

In Echocardiography his cardiologist will see the pattern of flow of blood in the heart chambers. They will see cardiac output (how much volume is being pumped out of heart with each pumping cycle). If heart muscle are weak or. Hamber of heart are enlarged, it gives a clue on Echocardiography. They will see how much volume of blood is going to the lungs, how patent are the vessels taking blood in and out.
Cardiac valves and their proper functionality is also checked.
