title: [Echocardiography in children in 1991].
abstract: We review advances in ultrasound technology relative to the diagnosis of heart disease in infants and children and advances that have modified the practice of pediatric cardiology. Accurate non invasive diagnosis is now possible and cardiac surgery, based on clinical and ultrasonic information is routinely performed. We also review the contribution of antenatal echocardiography on the development of fetal cardiology.
