Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood. Blood Clots: An enlarged heart is more prone to developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism.
