Indeed, during cardiac emergencies an Echo Tech can assist by performing emergent echocardiograms to evaluate heart function. The fast and accurate imaging of an Echo Tech allows for prompt clinical decisions in very time-sensitive situations.
An Echo Tech's purpose is largely supportive, as the final diagnosis and treatment lie with a cardiologist or emergency doctor.
