Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Two-dimensional echocardiography has become a cornerstone in cardiovascular disease assessment over the last decade.
  • Advancements in Doppler technology have solidified echocardiography's role as an ideal noninvasive diagnostic tool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and applications of echocardiography in cardiovascular diagnostics.
  • To highlight the expanding role of echocardiography from noninvasive to semi-invasive and innovative techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of noninvasive echocardiographic applications including assessment of ventricular function, valvular disease, pericardial disease, diastolic dysfunction, pulmonary pressures, and embolic sources.
  • Discussion of semi-invasive applications such as intracardiac echocardiography, guidance for procedures like pericardiocentesis and mitral valvotomy, and catheter placement.
