Abstract

Remarkable diagnostic and therapeutic advances have occurred during the last twenty years in the management of critically ill patients. Many of these advances involve technological devices that improve diagnostic or therapeutic capabilities in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). One area in which great strides have been made is the field of non-invasive imaging. Techniques such as two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography and radionuclide scintigraphy disclose information about cardiac function and structure previously available only from invasive tests such as cardiac catheterization and angiography [1–25].
