Echocardiography, which uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of the heart and blood vessels, has become routinely used in the diagnosis and management of many human cardiovascular diseases, and to study the cardiovascular system of several groups of animals. It can provide a wealth of information, including the size and shape of the heart, its pumping capacity, the location and extent of tissue damage/adaptation, and measurements of blood flow through, and the functioning of, various vessels in the body. When combined with measurement of the electrical activity of the heart (i.e. ECG) it is an incredibly powerful non-invasive technique for gathering information on heart function and other aspects of cardiovascular physiology.

超声心动图使用声波（超声）来​​创建心脏和血管的图像，已常规地用于许多人类心血管疾病的诊断和管理，并研究几组动物的心血管系统。它可以提供大量信息，包括心脏的大小和形状，其抽水能力，组织损伤/适应的位置和程度以及血液流通的测量以及体内各种血管的功能。当与心脏的电活动（即心电图）的测量结合使用时，它是一种非常强大的非侵入性技术，用于收集有关心脏功能和心血管生理其他方面的信息。
