Today, coronary artery disease is one of the major causes of
mortality and morbidity in the Western World. In the last decade
many major diagnostic and therapeutic advances have been made,
considerably furthering our potential in the management of coronary
artery disease. At the same time, a new generation of cardiac tools
has appeared. The field which has, perhaps, undergone the most
important technological innovations is echocardiography. Nowadays,
in fact, the world of ultrasounds ofters the cardiologist a wide
range of technical applicatons: two-dimensional real-time imaging,
intra-and extra-cardiac Doppler flow measurements, real-time
imaging of cardiac struc ture and flow by 2D color Doppler, high
resolution cardiac imaging by transesophageal echocardiography,
tissue characterization by analysis of ultrasound wave
characteristics, information on myocardial perfusion by con trast
echocardiography, etc. Thanks to these technical improvements and
to its consequent increased potentiality, echocardiography now
plays an impor tant and irreplaceable role in the management of all
cardiac diseases. In the field of coronary artery disease,
echocardiography can reliably be used not only in the acute phases
of the disease to derive useful functional and prog nostic
information but also as a stress diagnostic procedure (thanks to
new stress modalities and the continuing improvement of reviewing
digital sys tems) for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and
for the evaluation of various therapeutic interventions.
Furthermore, other promising applications of ultrasounds in this
disease are currently being investigated: tissue charac coronary
artery anatomy terization, myocardial contrast echocardiography,
and flow evaluation by specially-designed ultrasound catheters."
