Abstract

Echocardiogram often referred to as cardiac echo or simply an echo, is a sonogram of heart. Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart. It is a modern technique that allows the physician to evaluate the heart without inserting any tubes or wires. The present study is being done to see the location of chambers of heart in cadaveric specimens so as to contribute additional information to our existing knowledge to arrive at a diagnosis of various cardiac anomalies before any surgical interventions.

Keywords: Echocardiograph; Heart; Heart Chambers; Ventricles; Atria; Aorta.
