Echocardiography provides detailed data on cardiac structure, including the size and shape of cardiac chambers, as well as the morphology and function of cardiac valves. When compared with other imaging methods, echocardiography can be performed quickly, with minimal patient inconvenience or discomfort, and provides immediate clinically relevant information at relatively low cost. SYSTEMIC DISEASES AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, 236ĬARDIAC PROCEDURES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS, 249Įchocardiography remains the most commonly used and comprehensive cardiac imaging modality and is generally considered the first test of choice for assessing cardiac structure and function in most clinical situations.

Guidelines for the Use of Echocardiography in the Evaluation of a Cardiac Source of Embolism. two-dimensional ( transthoracic) echocardiography.hemodynamically significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.Generally differ based upon the type of study in question, with notable examples including: assessment prior to surgery or cardioversion.chest pain concerning for myocardial ischemia.clinical suspicion for infective endocarditis.suspected cardioembolic event or cardiac mass 1.suspected stenosis or regurgitation of a native cardiac valve.assessment of right ventricular function 2.palpitations or syncope with a concerning family history 3.evaluation of suspected symptomatic structural heart disease.General indications for a comprehensive echocardiographic study include: This differs in scope and indications from "focused" or " point of care" echocardiography which typically refers to an abbreviated protocol with a scope limited to focused, clinical questions. The performance of diagnostic, comprehensive echocardiography typically involves a dedicated sonographer capturing images with subsequent interpretation by a qualified reader, typically a cardiologist.
