Abstract

Several new imaging modalities are being utilized in the management of heart failure. Echocardiography and speckle tracking imaging offer clinician the benefits of easy accessibility, real time data interpretation and objective quantification of heart function. Accordingly, this article reviews the current evidence base related to the use of echocardiography and other advanced ultrasonography techniques in heart failure, and discusses applications as well as limitations of these emerging technologies. The role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and implications of the PROSPECT (Predictors of Response to CRT) trial in management of heart failure are also reviewed. The article concludes with a discussion about the evolving role of echocardiography in diagnosis and management of subclinical heart disease, so that preventive strategies may be devised.
