Cardiovascular ultrasound is an established imaging modality in the practice of cardiovascular disease (CVD), whether this is provided by a CV specialist or health professionals with training in internal medicine. Transthoracic imaging wherein the transducer is placed on the chest wall has some limitations. These include inadequate quality of images resulting in poor informationÔÇöapproximately 5… View more

Contemporary approved echo contrast agents share a common approved indication of left ventricular opacification and enhancement of endocardial border delineation for the assessment of left ventricular function in patients with technically suboptimal echocardiograms (ECGs). The use of echo contrast agents with advanced imaging technologies has resulted in the conversion of many non-diagnostic ECGs… View more

Although 2-D echocardiography (2DE) was a major step forwards for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac structure and function, the diagnosis of complex disorders remained a difficult mental conceptualisation process. In addition, the measurement of left ventricular (LV) volume and function, the most common referral reason for echocardiography, required important geometric assumptions about its… View more

In 2007, the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF), in partnership with the American Society of Echocardiography, published appropriateness criteria for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)1 and, a year later, appropriateness criteria for stress echocardiography.2 Both sets of criteria have been updated and combined into a single, recently published document.3 It remains a work in… View more

Introduction In the UK there is still an emphasis on coronary anatomy as currently assessed using coronary angiography; however, high-grade coronary lesion may not cause myocardial ischaemia, for example in the presence of extensive collateral vessels. Dynamic imaging to show the physiological effect of any coronary stenosis is therefore an important part of the investigation of patients with… View more

Both the art and the science of echocardiography have made tremendous strides in the 50 years since their earliest origins. In its modern-day form, echocardiography maintains a legacy of bedside utility while adopting many of the technologic advances ushered in by the digital era. As a result, it boasts a broad and growing spectrum of application including routine use in primary cardiac diagnosis… View more
