Heart Function Testing
A Clear Look at How Your Heart Is Working Today
Heart Function Testing at CoCardio® is a non-invasive, in-house heart ultrasound, also known as an echocardiogram or “echo.”
This screening allows us to see how your heart is functioning in real time, including how well it pumps, how your valves move, and how blood flows through the heart. It is one of the most effective ways to identify early changes in heart function, often before symptoms appear.
This service can be used as a standalone heart check or as part of determining candidacy for CoCardio Boost™.
What Is Heart Function Testing?
Heart Function Testing uses painless ultrasound technology to create real-time images of your heart.
During the scan, we evaluate:
- Heart chambers and wall motion
- Valve structure and function
- Pumping strength and efficiency
- Circulation patterns within the heart
This gives a clear picture of how your heart is performing today, not just what lab numbers suggest.
Why This Test Matters
Many forms of heart disease develop quietly over time.
An echocardiogram can help detect:
- Early valve changes or leakage
- Reduced pumping function
- Circulation or structural concerns
- Early signs of heart strain or heart failure
By identifying changes early, we can help guide prevention strategies before issues progress
For this reason, Heart Function Testing is recommended annually after age 40, especially for individuals with cardiovascular risk factors.
Who This Is For
Heart Function Testing is ideal for individuals who want clarity and peace of mind.
This service is especially helpful if you:
- Are age 40 or older and want proactive heart screening
- Have high cholesterol or high blood pressure
- Have diabetes or pre-diabetes
- Have a family history of heart disease
- Want a clearer understanding of your heart’s structure and function
- Are exploring candidacy for CoCardio Boost®
It is also appropriate for adults 50+ who want to stay ahead of heart disease rather than react to symptoms.

Designed for Early Detection
Many people assume heart testing is only needed after symptoms begin.
At CoCardio®, we believe the opposite.
Heart Function Testing allows us to:
- Detect subtle changes early
- Track heart health over time
- Support informed, prevention-focused decisions
This proactive approach helps reduce surprises and supports long-term heart resilience.
Adjunct to Standard Medical Care
Heart Function Testing at CoCardio® is educational and screening-based and does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.
This service is designed to complement, not replace, care provided by your primary physician or cardiologist. Many individuals share their echo results with their existing healthcare providers as part of a collaborative approach.
Begin With Clarity
Your heart works hard every day. Understanding how it functions is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward prevention.
Heart Function Testing offers a clear, non-invasive way to stay informed and proactive about your cardiovascular health.
