虽然方法上的问题仍然存在，超声心动图提供了最好的可用的无创方法来评估左心室肥厚（LVH）。事实上，随着最近的技术进步，二维超声心动图可以提供一种与旧的血管造影技术一样准确的方法，旧的血管造影技术是最好的可用侵入性技术。此外，M型超声心动图的计算机分析提供了关于左心室功能的数据，这些数据不容易从任何其他技术中获得。由于超声心动图是无创的，它特别适合于LVH的长期研究，瓣膜疾病和瓣膜置换术的心室后果和治疗效果的系列评估。此外，左心室的超声心动图评估可以帮助充血性心力衰竭患者选择最合适的治疗形式。通过超声心动图对左心室疾病进行广泛研究期间建立的概念将与更新的技术相关，如计算机化X线摄影和正电子发射断层扫描以及核磁共振，当它们应用于相同的情况时。
Although methodological problems still exist echocardiography provides the best available non-invasive method for assessing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Indeed, with recent technical advances two-dimensional echocardiography may provide a method that is at hast as accurate as the older angiographic techniques which are the best available invasive techniques. Further, computerised analysis of M-mode echocardiograms provides data about left ventricular function which are not readily available from any other technique. Because echocardiography is non-invasive it is particularly suitable for long-term studies of LVH, serial assessment of the ventricular consequences of valve disease and valve replacement and the effects of therapy. In addition, echocardiographic assessment of the left ventricle may allow the most appropriate form of therapy to be chosen in patients with congestive heart failure. The concepts built up during the extensive study of left ventricular disorders by echocardiography will be relevant to newer techniques such as computerised roentgenographic and positron emission tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance when they are applied in the same situations.
