==Overview==
In patients with known heart disease, echocardiography is needed to check the heart structure and assess [[left ventricular function]]. It uses sound waves to produce an image of the valves, [[ventricle]]s and [[atrium]]. The image shows the structure of the [[mitral valve]] and its movement during the beating of the heart.

Overview

Transthoracic echocardiography can be useful in the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with syncope. This evaluation is especially warranted in patients who are suspected to have underlying cardiovascular disorders.

Echocardiography

2017 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Syncope[1]

Cardiac Imaging

Class IIa
"Transthoracic echocardiography can be useful in selected patients presenting with syncope if structural heart disease is suspected. (Level of Evidence:B)"[2][3][4]
Class III
"Routine cardiac imaging is not useful in the evaluation of patients with syncope unless cardiac etiology is suspected on the basis of an initial evaluation, including history, physical examination, or ECG. (Level of Evidence:B)"[3][5]
