Overview

Echocardiography is an available and helpful modality for diagnosis and predicting the underlying causes of ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac arrest. Findings on an echocardiography include assessment of myocardial function, valvular structural and functional disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, prior MI.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography is an available and helpful modality for diagnosis and predicting the underlying causes of ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac arrest. Findings on an echocardiography include:
