There are several scenarios where an echocardiogram is essential in the field of gynecology:
Pregnancy: Pregnant women with pre-existing heart conditions or those who develop symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitations, or chest pain may need an echocardiogram to assess cardiac function. Pre-operative evaluation: Women scheduled for major gynecological surgeries, such as hysterectomy or myomectomy, may require an echocardiogram to ensure they can safely undergo anesthesia and surgery. Hormone therapy: Women on long-term hormone replacement therapy might need periodic echocardiograms to monitor the effects of hormones on the heart.
