	Echocardiography - Clinical Services - Children's Hospital Boston
		Echocardiography (echo) is a procedure used to assess the heart's structures and function.
		Echocardiography is the use of ultrasound to examine and measure the structure and functioning of the heart.
		In echocardiography, a small probe called a transducer is placed on your child's chest and sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard.

	Echocardiography or auscultation?
		A weakness of echocardiography data, in terms of the comparison, is their qualitative, subjective nature and the fact that physicians could misinterpret the physiologic degrees of valve regurgitation as “pathologic” in otherwise healthy people.
		Echocardiography should be considered, however, when examiners are uncertain about results of clinical examination or if they suspect a significant cardiac abnormality.

		Indications for stress echocardiography include diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, evaluation of patients with known ischemic disease, and assessment of valvular heart disease.
		Transesophageal dobutamine stress echocardiography has been used to improve endocardial visualization, but because of its invasive nature and the general improvement in transthoracic imaging with the use of contrast agents, this modality has not gained wide acceptance in clinical practice.

		Although this form of echocardiography was the first to be described, it is still best suited to measure the thickness of the ventricular walls and the dimensions of the internal cavity of the ventricles.
		Routine two-dimensional echocardiography reveals a heart typical of left ventricular concentric hypertrophy; i.e., the cavity of the left ventricle is reduced relative to the increased thickness of the interventricular septum and the left ventricular free wall.
		Routine Two-dimensional Echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography are useful to detect intracardiac shunts and dysplasia of the mitral and tricuspid valves.

	Abstracts - Echocardiography
		Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound, or high-frequency sound waves, to create images of the heart.
		Echocardiography is usually performed by a trained sonographer or technician at an echocardiography lab, a clinic, or in the patient's hospital room.
		For transthoracic echocardiography, the transducer is moved across the chest to gather data and the patient may feel slight pressure or vibration surrounding the area being examined.

	Transesophageal Echocardiography
		Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses high frequency ultrasound waves to produce a picture of the heart.
		In transthoracic echocardiography, a transducer that emits sound waves is placed on the chest in the area of the heart.
		Transthoracic echocardiography is used to diagnose abnormalities of the heart, such as thickening of the heart walls, coronary artery disease, fluid build up, valve malfunctions, and a condition called regurgitation, in which blood flows backward through the partially closed heart valves.

	Echocardiogram
		Echocardiography can also identify if the heart is pumping poorly due to a condition known as cardiomyopathy (pronounced cardio-myo-puth-e), or if one or more isolated areas have depressed movement (due to prior heart attacks).
		Remember, unlike echocardiography, Doppler follows the direction and velocity of blood flow rather than the movement of the valve leaflets or components.
		Echocardiography is used to diagnose mitral valve prolapse (MVP), while Doppler identifies whether it is associated with leakage or regurgitation of the mitral valve (MR).
