Echocardiography is the most versatile cardiacimaging technology readily available at the patient's bedside. Itssuperb diagnostic ability relates to the potential to identify anyhemodynamic condition and cardiac pathology that implies amorphologic and/or a flow pattern change. Because the machinesthemselves are small, portable and powerful and reporting can beswift and revealing, echocardiography is an essential part of thediagnostic strategy when dealing with critically ill patients.Emergency Echocardiography is a step-by-step guide forcardiologists, intensivists, emergency room doctors andsonographers faced with critically ill patients in whom majortherapeutic decisions could depend on the information provided bytimely and accurate examination. It includes both specificcardiology topics, such as aortic pathology, valvular emergencies,mechanical complications of myocardial infarction or tamponade, andgeneral intensive care situations, such as pulmonary embolism,resuscitation, sepsis and the need for filling status assessment.In doing so, it addresses the practical needs of cardiologytrainees and of intensivists faced with the increased use ofechocardiography in an acute care setting.
