Examples of echocardiography

• In the era of high-precision cross-sectional echocardiography, it now seems redundant to continue using normal data obtained from formalin-fixed autopsy specimens.

• Echocardiography can usually identify the obstructive lesion in sufficient detail before surgical repair.

• In the subsequent five patients, a precise diagnosis was obtained by echocardiography.

• Because of this, he was referred to a cardiologist, who found signs of pericardial effusion, which was confirmed by echocardiography.

• Further echocardiography 8 months later suggested that the thrombus had resolved.

• Postoperative echocardiography showed a satisfactory intracardiac repair with no residual shunts and minimal regurgitation across the left atrioventricular valve.

• On fetal echocardiography, there was cardiomegaly with normal atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial connections and the heart rate was within normal limits.

• They found that the diameters of both arteries were comparable to data of normal children which had been obtained by echocardiography.

• On echocardiography, both great arteries were seen to arise from a leftward and posteriorly located, finely trabeculated ventricle.

• Echocardiography is the ideal investigation as information can be obtained about cardiac valves as well as ventricular function.

• Echocardiography showed normal chamber and vessel relationships, a small patent arterial duct, and an atrial septal defect with bidirectional shunting across the oval fossa.

• The monitoring transoesophageal echocardiography probe is also clearly visible.

• A better understanding of the flow patterns seen in this noninvasive technique is essential in maximizing the role of echocardiography as a diagnostic tool.

• On echocardiography, the left ventricular cavity was hypoplastic with a small muscular ventricular septal defect.

• Spontaneous closure of muscular ventricular septal defect identified by echocardiography in neonates.
