Spanish term or phrase: Eco control
A patient who has suffered a heart attack, seizures and hypotension is given an "eco control". Is that a "follow-up ultrasound"?

Here is the sentence:

Eco control con disminución de derrame. Fe 63%

Follow-up cardiac ultrasound
Explanation:
I'm not 100% certain, but if the patient has a heart condition I think it refers to "ecocardiografía". The effusion would be a pericardial effusion, which would show up on a cardiac ultrasound (or echocardiogram in the US)
