Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, follow-up or limited study

AI EXPLANATION: An echocardiogram, often called an echo test or heart ultrasound, uses high-frequency sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart. A limited or follow-up study focuses on a specific part of the heart or re-evaluates a previously identified condition rather than repeating a full, comprehensive examination. A clinician places a smooth handheld sensor on the chest to safely observe the heart's valves, chambers, and blood flow.
