Overview

Echocardiography or Ultrasound may be used in patients who develop pericardial effusion secondary to TB.[1] On rare occasions TB may result in congestive heart failure, in which case echocardiograph may also help in the diagnosis. echocardiogram findings in CHF include hypokinesia; valvular insufficiency as well as enlargement of all heart chambers.
