Use and Abuse of the Echocardiogram
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1984Echocardiography is a valuable noninvasive technology that has profoundly influenced the standards of medical and surgical care of infants and children with cardiac disease. The correct and efficient utilization of this technology requires a knowledge of the structures that can be visualized on the echocardiogram, the limitations of the technique, and ...

The Use of Echocardiograms in Preparticipation Examinations
Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2017Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of death during exercise in young athletes. Preparticipation physical examinations were developed to maintain the health and safety of athletes, including the prompt identification of those at risk for SCD. The use of medical history and physical examinations, electrocardiography, and echocardiography, or

The Effect of Respiratory Motion on the Echocardiogram
Chest, 1976The effects of respiratory movements on the ultrasonic echoes of the cardiac structures were recorded and analyzed in 50 consecutive patients. Deep inspiration in cooperative patients resulted in a considerable increase of dense anterior echoes, with blotting out of any distal or posterior echoes in 12 of 44 patients (group A).

The echocardiogram in left atrial myxoma
The American Journal of Medicine, 1973Abstract A case of left atrial myxoma is described in which the echocardiogram provided the clue to the diagnosis. The mechanisms involved in producing a positive result are discussed. The value of the echocardiogram appears to depend upon echoes from the tumor during diastole which can be detected immediately posterior to the anterior cusp of the ...

Errors in performance and interpretation of echocardiograms
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1973AbstractDiagnostic ultrasound affords important information about cardiac structure and motion. However, because of the unique manner in which data are acquired and displayed during echocardiography, diagnostic errors and misinterpretations are not uncommon.

Methemoglobinemia After Transesophageal Echocardiogram
Hospital PharmacyThe widespread administration of local anesthetics such as benzocaine necessitates understanding their lesser-known adverse effects. Acquired methemoglobinemia (MetHb) is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with the routine use of benzocaine spray prior to endoscopic procedures such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Recognizing
