Abstract

This chapter provides detail description of continuous transthoracic cardiac imaging and its technique and applications. Feasibility of continuous cardiac imaging, evaluation of acute coronary syndromes, exercise echocardiography, ambulatory echocardiography, noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring, monitoring of pericardiocentesis, monitoring of balloon valvuloplasty, monitoring of cannulation of the coronary sinus, intraoperative monitoring of noncardiac surgery and limitations of handheld transducers apply to the CONTISCAN transducer described in detail. The use of the CONTISCAN transducer has been described in a variety of clinical scenarios (described in 8 points). 52 comprehensive and self-explanatory images are included in this chapter. 24 references are given at the end of the chapter to facilitate further reading.
