Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that utilizes ultrasound to create images of the heart. It is often used to evaluate the size and function of the heart, and can reveal an enlarged left ventricle. Computed tomographic and positron emission tomography scans are imaging tests that can also provide information about the heart, but are not typically used to specifically evaluate for left ventricular enlargement. Fluorescein angiography is a test used to visualize blood vessels in the eye and is not used to evaluate the heart.
