Echocardiography
- Echocardiography is the most useful initial diagnostic test in the evaluation of patients with heart failure. Because of its noninvasive nature and the ease of the test, it is the test of choice in the initial and follow-up evaluation of most forms of cardiomyopathy. It provides information not only on overall heart size and function, but also on valvular structure and function, wall motion and thickness, and pericardial disease. Possible echocardiographic findings include: [1]
- LV dilatation (earliest manifestation) [2]
- Increased LV wall thickness [3]
- Diastolic and systolic dysfunction [4][5]
- Reduced ejection fraction [6][7]
