Brief Answer:
Why was the ECHO done

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I got your query.

Can you tell me why was the ECHO done in the first place?
What were the patient's symptoms?
What was the doctor's opinion?
There seems a defect in both the sides of the heart valves due to which there is excess burden on the pumping side of the heart. This lead to compensatory heart bulging on the left side.
Let me know the series of events and the past history of the person who got this ECHO done.
