M-mode echocardiography has been extremely useful in confirming the clinical diagnosis of a wide variety of both congenital and acquired heart diseases. With the present state of the art and science of echocardiogarphy, it is the opinion of the author that M-mode coupled with phonocardiography, external arterial and venous tracings, and two-dimensional ultrasonic cardiac imaging are complementary and together provide the most information in a given patient. Two-dimensional imaging of the heart is superior in the evaluation of congenital heart disease, particularly when used in conjunction with injection of indocyanine green dye43 and with cardiac catheterization. With improvement in technology and greater clinical experience, two-dimensional ultrasound cardiac imaging will ultimately replace M-mode echocardiography in the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac disorders.
M 型超声心动图在确诊各种先天性和后天性心脏病的临床诊断中极为有用。就目前超声心动图的技术和科学水平而言，作者认为 M 型超声心动图与心音图、外周动静脉描记图以及二维超声心动图成像相辅相成，共同为特定患者提供最多的信息。心脏的二维成像在先天性心脏病评估方面更具优势，特别是与注射吲哚菁绿染料 43 以及心脏导管检查联合使用时。随着技术的进步和临床经验的增加，二维超声心动图成像最终将在心脏疾病的无创评估中取代 M 型超声心动图。
