title: [Clinical application of echocardiography in children].
abstract: Biplane echocardiography is an important diagnostic resource in the management of infants with congenital heart disease and severe symptoms. It is also an useful method in the ambulatory assessment of children of any age suspected of having a congenital or acquired heart lesion. At the Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez, echocardiography has substituted cardiac catheterization studies in the pre-operative diagnosis of several lesions, including many with a high degree of anatomic complexity, without incurring in the morbidity and high costs of invasive techniques.
