Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Echocardiography is in patients presenting with chest pain, for the evaluation of ventricular function[1] and also to detect ischemia-induced regional wall motion abnormality that occurs at rest, during exercise, or with pharmacologic stress test.
- It is especially useful in patients with chest pain associated with murmurs, a history of prior MI and electrocardiography findings suggestive of cardiomyopathy.
- An abdominal is very helpful in the diagnosis of aortic dissection.
