Summary
Echo non invasive imaging technique to assess
and diagnose of cardiac abnormalities using
ultrasound
The most commonly used echo is transthoracic echo
Echo mode : M-Mode, 2 dimentional, and Doppler
echo
Echo study :
To assess cardiovascular structure abnormalities
Cardiac chambers, cardiac valve, and great arteries
