Overview
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis the cause of lethal arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest by assessment of regional wall motion abnormality,systolic function of left ventricle , evidence of myocardial infarction , valvular heart disease such as aortic stenosis ,right ventricular cardiomyopathy ,pericardial effusion, tamponade , aorta dissection.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis the cause of lethal arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest by assessment of the following:[1]
- Regional wall motion abnormality
- Systolic function of left ventricle
- Evidence of myocardial infarction
- Valvular heart disease such as aortic stenosis
- Right ventricular cardiomyopathy
- Pericardial effusion, Tamponade
- Aorta dissection
