 | | In this case, the echocardiography transducer (or probe) is placed on the chest wall (or thorax) of the subject, and images are taken through the chest wall. | | | Echocardiography was also the first application of intravenous contrast enhanced ultrasound. | | | Echocardiography was the first medical application of ultrasound. |

| | Transthoracic stress echocardiography with transesophageal atrial pacing for bedside evaluation of inducible myocardial ischemia in patients with new-onset chest pain. | | | Simultaneous transesophageal atrial pacing and transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac surgical patients. | | | We conclude that bedside pacing stress echocardiography is feasible and safe, and highly correlates with myocardial perfusion stress scintigraphy for identifying inducible myocardial ischemia in patients with new onset of chest pain or unstable angina. |

| | Echocardiography |
| | Echocardiography is procedure when high frequency sound is transmitted through the skin of your chest by placing a recorder (probe) on the chest wall in order to be able to record an image of your heart. | | | Echocardiography has many applications both in clinical medicine and research. | | | Another development of this technique (Doppler echocardiography) measures the speed of blood flow in different parts of the heart. |

| | Echocardiography techniques also are being applied to exercise testing so that the motion of the walls of the ventricles and other physical characteristics of the heart under stress can be studied. | | | The advantages of echocardiography over other diagnostic techniques are many. | | | The technique also provides measurements of blood flow within the heart's chambers to assess their function while pumping and resting (systolic and diastolic function), and blood flow in the major blood vessels and peripheral vessels in the arms and legs. |

| | The technique is the same as that used for transthoracic echocardiography, but the transducer is placed on the mother's abdomen instead of on the chest. | | | Doppler echocardiography - This Doppler technique is used to measure and assess the flow of blood through the heart's chambers and valves. | | | This test is often used to look for the effects of exercise on the function of the heart muscle and the heart valves. |

| | If the echocardiogram is unclear due to a barrel chest, congestive obstructive pulmonary disease, or obesity, your health care provider may choose to perform a transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE. | | | Echocardiogram works well for most patients and allows doctors to see the heart beating and to visualize many of the structures of the heart. | | | Occasionally, because your lungs, ribs, or body tissue may prevent the sound waves and echoes from providing a clear picture of heart function, the sonographer may administer a small amount of a dye through an IV to better see the inside of the heart. |
