ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Visualizes heart in real time with ultrasound; Doppler recordings noninvasively assess hemodynamics and abnormal flow patterns (Table 114-1 and Fig. 114-1). Imaging may be compromised in pts with chronic obstructive lung disease, thick chest wall, or narrow intercostal spaces. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is performed when higher resolution images of cardiac structures is required.
2-D Echo Cardiac chambers: size, hypertrophy, wall motion abnormalities Valves: morphology and motion Pericardium: effusion, tamponade Aorta: aneurysm, dissection Assess intracardiac masses Doppler Echocardiography Valvular stenosis and regurgitation Intracardiac shunts Diastolic filling/dysfunction Approximate intracardiac pressures | Transesophageal Echocardiography Superior to 2-D echo to identify: Infective endocarditis Cardiac source of embolism Prosthetic valve dysfunction Aortic dissection Stress Echocardiography Assess myocardial ischemia and viability |
