How can the suspicion of myocardial ischemia be confirmed without putting the patient through an invasive procedure? In patients who have had myocardial infarction, how can those at risk for pump failure and other complications and future cardiac events be identified? How are such complications detected? The answer to all these questions is echocardiography. The authors review how to use the technique and provide illustrative images.
