There are different types of echocardiography, each serving specific clinical purposes. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) involves placing the ultrasound transducer on the chest to obtain images of the heart from the chest wall. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a more invasive but highly detailed technique where the transducer is introduced into the esophagus, providing clearer images of certain cardiac structures. Stress echocardiography involves assessing the heart's response to physical stress, such as exercise or pharmacological stimulation, to evaluate coronary artery disease. Echocardiography is not only valuable in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases but also plays a crucial role in guiding interventional procedures, monitoring cardiac surgeries, and assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. As technology continues to advance, including the integration of three-dimensional echocardiography and strain imaging, cardiovascular echography remains an indispensable tool in the comprehensive evaluation and management of individuals with a wide range of cardiac conditions.
