Contemporary echocardiography is the only method in medicine that allows visualisation of the anatomical structure and function of the heart without surgical intervention or injection of special substances into the body.

This method allows to examine the structure of heart muscle, valves and other structures, determining the presence of heart defects or additional lesions, assessing operation of different parts of the heart, sizes thereof and, based on measurement data using special formulae to calculate all vital parameters of heart function.
