Abstract:
Echocardiography, since its introduction by Edler, has greatly revolutionized cardiac practice and helps in the diagnoses of diseases. It involves multiple modalities for a complete study but the most fundamental part is chamber quantification by M-mode and 2D scanning. Guidelines have been proposed for these regularly by various agencies especially American Society of Echocardiography with timely updates. These updates show changes in these parameters which are at times quite marked. To keep abreast with the evolving knowledge in this field, most recent guidelines have been reviewed and it is attempted to present it in an easy format for all those involved with cardiology practice especially echocardiography.
