AB As  a  clinical  tool  in  cardiovascular  medicine,  there  are  few  if  any  techniques  that  can  rival  the  role  of  echocardiography.  It  is  a  noninvasive  (or  semi-invasive  in  the  case  of  transesophageal  echocardiography)  diagnostic  test  with  no  known  untoward  side  effects  (including  the  lack  of  radiation)  that  allows  for  a  comprehensive  assessment  of  cardiac  anatomy  and  physiology.  It  can  provide  insight  into  the  diagnosis  of  patients  with  suspected  cardiac  disease,  help  guide  management,  and  provide  important  prognostic  information.  Unlike  competing  imaging  methods,  echocardiography  is  portable  and  can  be  performed  in  virtually  any  clinical  setting,  including  the  outpatient  clinic,  an  inpatient  echocardiography  laboratory,  the  patient's  bedside,  the  critical  care  environment,  the  emergency  department,  and  the  operating  room.
