Abstract
Echocardiography is the “gold standard” in assessing some disorders and yields only semiquantitative results in others. Drs Wilson and Vacek give an overview of the procedure, its indications, and its limitations. These practical guidelines will assist the primary care physician who is considering ordering echocardiography for a specific entity.Keywords
