Abstract
Twenty five young patients were studied by M-mode echocardiography from the suprasternal notch. The findings were compared with the angiographic findings. Good visualisation of the aorta, and right pulmonary artery was obtained in all patients by suprasternal echocardiography. while the left atrium was well visualised in twenty patients. Strong correlation was found between the ultrasonic and angiographic lumen measurements of the aorta, right pulmonary artery and the left atrium in the superoinferior axis. We conclude that suprasternal M-mode echocardiography is a useful and reliable noninvasive method of studying the great vessels and the left atrium.
