The original description of M-mode echocardiography in 1953, by Inge Edler (1911-2001) and his physicist friend Hellmuth Hertz, marked the beginning of a new diagnostic noninvasive technique. Edler used this technique primarily for the preoperative study of mitral stenosis and diagnosis of mitral regurgitation. His work was carried forward by cardiologists all over the world, who developed Doppler, 2-dimensional, contrast, and transesophageal echocardiography. These are now standard in cardiologic examinations. Edler also influenced neurologists and obstetricians at Lund University (Sweden) to use ultrasound in their fields. For his landmark discovery, Edler is recognized as the "Father of Echocardiography."
1953年,英格·埃德勒(1911 - 2001)和他的物理学家朋友赫尔穆特·赫兹对M型超声心动图进行了最初描述,这标志着一种新的非侵入性诊断技术的开端。埃德勒主要将这项技术用于二尖瓣狭窄的术前研究和二尖瓣反流的诊断。他的工作由世界各地的心脏病专家继承发扬,他们开发了多普勒、二维、造影和经食管超声心动图。这些现在已成为心脏病学检查的标准方法。埃德勒还影响了瑞典隆德大学的神经科医生和产科医生在各自领域使用超声。由于他具有里程碑意义的发现,埃德勒被誉为“超声心动图之父”。
