Overview
Echocardiography is useful in patients presenting with chest pain, for the evaluation of ventricular function.
- An abdominal ultrasound is very important in the diagnosis of chest pain due to aortic dissection.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Echocardiography is useful 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 ultrasound is very important in the diagnosis of chest pain due to aortic dissection.
