Echocardiography is a group of interrelated applications of ultrasound to detect and check dimension and movement of the
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY Preceded by clinical estimation - EKG - Specific issues - Targets -
ECHO
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Patients without well-known cardiopathy:
The goal is to highlight a cardiopathy in high risk subjects
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY Patients with well-known cardiopathy The goal is to highlight the clinical pattern and to check it
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Sensible parameters: - morphology - ejection fraction - contractility - ventricular diameters - ventricular performance - flow calculations by Doppler - regurgitations - gradients
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Coronary artery disease Cardiomyopathies (dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, infiltrative) Hypertension Congenital heart disease Valvular heart disease Pericardial effusion and tamponade Endocarditis
