AB The  term  echocardiography  refers  to  the  evaluation  of  cardiac  structure  and  function  with  images  and  recordings  produced  by  ultrasound.  The  development  of  echocardiography  is  usually  credited  to  Edler  and  Hertz  in  1954.1  In  the  past  30  years,  it  has  become  a  fundamental  component  of  the  cardiac  evaluation.  Currently,  echocardiography  (echo)  provides  essential  (and  sometimes  unexpected)  clinical  information  and  is  the  second  most  frequently  performed  diagnostic  procedure.2  The  history  of  this  technique  has  been  closely  linked  with  advances  in  computer  processing,  storage  and  miniaturization.
