Abstract

Multiple facets of coronary artery disease can be evaluated by a number of currently available echocardiographic techniques with new technologies holding the promise of direct noninvasive evaluation of distal coronary arteries in the future. Assessment of regional left ventricular wall motion abnormalities and global function, and the detection of complications of acute myocardial infarction are well established uses of echocardiography. With the growing use of stress echocardiography, the diagnosis of significant coronary artery stenosis as well as risk stratification of patients with or without coronary artery disease have become additional uses of echocardiography. The evaluation of myocardial viability, coronary flow reserve and collateral circulation are areas of ongoing research and may soon become accepted uses for this versatile technique.
