echocardiographer
Cardiac ultrasound technician
An echocardiographer is a medical professional who performs echocardiograms—ultrasound imaging of the heart.
They operate specialized equipment to visualize heart chambers, valves, and blood flow, helping cardiologists diagnose conditions like heart disease, valve disorders, and congenital defects.
Most are trained sonographers or technicians with cardiac specialization.
