ABSTRACT

Over the last two decades, regardless of advances in cardiac imaging technologies, echocardiography has sustained its leading role as a diagnostic tool in cardiovascular medicine. The foremost reason is because of its unique advantages comprising versatility, portability, rapid availability even at the bed side, excellent temporal resolution, elucidation of images in real time, comparatively low cost and above all no risk of exposure to radiation. In multiple clinical situations 2Dimensional echocardiography (2DE) is operated for imaging in OPD clinics, indoor wards, intensive care units, operation theatres and faraway locations.
