The ability to listen to the heart as it beats or to feel its reverberations across the chest wall has been around for the last thousands of years. Never has it been visualized. With the advent of ultrasound and its applications to almost all anatomy, you finally have the ability to see into the heart as it moves. No matter how careful your auscultation, it will never come close to the accurate diagnostic capability of seeing and measuring the heart's structures and the flow of blood through it. You have a view of our most basic function that man has been wanting for millennia.
AWESOME!
