Abstract
A study that investigated the applicability of M‐mode echocardiography in a group of obese adults who were referred to the clinical echocardiographic laboratory is summarized. The M‐mode echocardiographic imaging technique, as performed with currently available equipment, permitted visualization of the cardiac anatomy in a majority of the patients. Comparable clinical information may be difficult to obtain by other methods.Keywords
