Key result
Echocardiography, integrating two-dimensional imaging and Doppler ultrasound, has become an integral and noninvasive tool for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart disease.
Echocardiography has become an integral part of modern cardiac diagnosis due to the development of two-dimensional imaging and Doppler ultrasound.
Reinforces echocardiography's role in cardiac evaluation; leaves open prospective trials on optimal technique integration.
THE past decade has seen tremendous growth in the use of echocardiography for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart disease. This growth has been due primarily to the development of two-dimensional imaging techniques and the integration of Doppler ultrasound methods that provide information noninvasively on pressure differences and blood flow in the heart and great vessels. The family of tests, called echocardiography, has become an integral part of modern cardiac diagnosis. This relatively new and noninvasive way of looking into the body to observe the dynamic geometry of cardiac contraction, to assess the physiology and pathophysiology of blood . . .

Richard L. Popp (1990) conducted a review in Heart disease. Echocardiography was evaluated. Echocardiography, integrating two-dimensional imaging and Doppler ultrasound, has become an integral and noninvasive tool for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart disease.
