AB Patients  with  cardiovascular  disease  are  encountered  in  virtually  every  field  of  medicine,  from  the  family  practitioner  and  general  internist  to  the  surgeon  and  even  the  obstetrician.  While  other  "advanced  imaging"  modalities  such  as  cardiac  MRI  and  CT  are  able  to  noninvasively  evaluate  cardiac  structure  and  function  and  provide  complimentary  and  additional  information  for  the  clinician,  no  modality  other  than  echocardiography  can  provide  a  rapid  noninvasive  evaluation  of  the  heart  and  great  vessels.  Echocardiography  is  available  in  virtually  any  clinical  setting,  from  the  emergency  department  to  the  ICU,  the  operating  room  and  the  stress  lab,  at  the  bedside  and  in  the  office.
