Abstract:
Echocardiography was once clinically considered as a tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease with limited sensitivity and specificity. Recently with the developments of modern electronic technologies,limitations of poor image quality were overcome and several new technical modalities,such as color kinesis(CK),Doppler tissue imaging(DTI)and anatomic M-mode echocardiography(AME)have been demonstrated to be useful for enhancing the accuracy and clinical applicability of the echocardiography. These new noninvasive ultrasonic technologies,adding more direct and quantitative information on specific topics of cardiac function,may play an important role in the study of coronary artery disease.
