What types of abnormalities can be discerned using routine 2DE?

1. Abnormal cardiac structures and anatomy (e.g., congenital malformations, pericardial effusions, pleural effusions, vegetations, masses, thrombi)
2. Abnormalities of normal cardiac structures (e.g., the valves, myocardium, and great vessels)
3. Functional abnormalities (e.g., global or regional abnormal left or right ventricular function, abnormal valve function)
