Echocardiogram findings are the measured results on an echo report, such as ejection fraction, wall-motion abnormalities, chamber size, valve stenosis or regurgitation, and estimated pulmonary artery pressure. Findings translate to functional status and prognosis. Underwriting focuses on quantitative metrics (e.g., EF <50%, moderate aortic stenosis) and qualitative impressions (diastolic dysfunction, hypertrophy). Clear findings guide risk class, table ratings, or postponement, and help physicians document stability over time.

Advisors summarize key echo findings in cover letters-ejection fraction, valve severity, chamber dimensions-to help underwriters quickly pinpoint risk. Stable or improved findings over time can justify credits. Worsening wall-motion or reduced EF may lead to ratings or postponement until treatment. Clear, quantified findings shorten back-and-forth and improve offer predictability.
