An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound examination, which uses high-pitched sound waves that pass through a device called a transducer. The device receives echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off to different areas of the heart.Echocardiography is an important modality for diagnosing heart diseases.Echocardiography is further segmented into two types based on product: cart-based

echocardiography devices and portable/handheld echocardiography devices. The portable/handheld echocardiography devices segment is expected to grow at a higher rate as compared with the cart-based echocardiography devices segment owing to their advantages.
