Presentation Transcript

  1. estimate of the volume of a heart chamber from echocardiogram

  2. echocardiogram (ECHO, cardiac ultrasound) is a sonogram of the heart ECHO uses standard ultrasound techniques to image two-dimensional slices of the heart latest ultrasound systems now employ 3D real-time imaging

  3. ECHO uses standard ultrasound techniques to image two-dimensional slices of the heart

  4. latest ultrasound systems now employ 3D real-time imaging

  5. uses of ECHO (a) creating 2D picture of the cardiovascular system (shape of the heart) (b) assessment of quality of cardiac tissue (damage, thickening of walls within the heart) (c) estimate of the velocity of blood

  6. uses of ECHO • (d) investigate features of blood flow • functioning of cardiac valves • detection of abnormal communication between the left and right side of the heart • leaking of blood through the valves • strength at which blood is pumped out of heart (cardiac output)
