Abstract:
Echocardiography is a non-invasive, versatile imaging modality for the diagnostics and monitoring of life-threatening cardiac diseases. This article summarizes the currently valid recommendations on emergency echocardiography of the German Cardiac Society and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and provides practical guidance for their implementation in emergency medicine. Echocardiography is especially important for the diagnostics of acute coronary syndrome and its potential complications, of pulmonary embolism and endocarditis as well as the differential diagnosis of patients in shock and in emergencies. A domain of increasing importance in echocardiography is the treatment monitoring of patients supported by modern cardiac assist devices.
