AB Echocardiography  has  been  a  component  of  emergency  medicine  practice  for  over  20  years,  and  serves  as  an  integral  diagnostic  tool  in  the  evaluation  of  patients  with  cardiac  and  noncardiac  disorders.  Echocardiography  represents  the  only  diagnostic  modality  capable  of  providing  real-time  bedside  information  for  acutely  ill  patients  in  the  emergency  department  (ED).  In  addition  to  cardiac  anesthesiologists  and  cardiologists,  trainees  in  U.S.-based  emergency  medicine  residency  and  fellowship  programs  now  often  acquire  specialized  training  in  echocardiography.
