Abstract

In recent years, advances in echocardiographic techniques have made echocardiography an ideal method to study the effects of myocardial ischemia on myocardial structure and function. This chapter reviews the observations made by the use of M-mode echocardiography, two-dimensional echocardiographic imaging, and Doppler echocardiography in the study of the left ventricle during transient or acute myocardial ischemia in animal investigations.
