Abstract
- Echocardiography is a very useful, safe, and noninvasive method for the diagnosis and management of cardiac diseases. Echocardiographic studies, which use ultrasound, provide anatomic diagnosis, as well as functional information. Over the past twenty years, important advances have occurred in echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function. Tissue Doppler imaging and three dimensional echocardiography can provide potential benefits to analyze hemodynamic information of heart in pediatric patients. This paper reviews some of these major advances in pediatric echocardiography, as well as conventional methods of pediatric echocardiography.
