Question: What is echocardiography used for in the assessment of heart function?
Answer: Echocardiography is used to visualize and assess the heart's structure, function, and
blood flow. It helps diagnose heart diseases, evaluate cardiac...
and guide treatment decisions. It is used to plan surgical interventions or monitor the effects of
ongoing treatments in congenital heart disease.
Question: What are the limitations of echocardiography?
Answer: ✔✔ Limitations of echocardiography include difficulty imaging certain areas due to
patient body habitus, poor acoustic windows, and limited ability to assess certain conditions,
such as those involving the coronary arteries, without additional imaging.
Question: How does 3D echocardiography differ from traditional 2D echocardiography?
Answer: ✔✔ 3D echocardiography provides a three-dimensional view of the heart, allowing for
more detailed visualization of cardiac structures and better assessment of complex anatomy and
function compared to traditional 2D echocardiography.
Question: What is the role of echocardiography in monitoring heart failure patients?
