[Diagnosis of heart tumors--contribution of 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography]. / Zur Diagnostik von Herztumoren--Beitrag der zweidimensionalen und Doppler-Echokardiographie.

The advantages of the modern two-dimensional echocardiography in comparison to the M-mode one are investigated on the basis of findings in 7 patients with heart tumors. Also the possibilities of Doppler echocardiography for comprehensive information about the cardiac situation in these patients are demonstrated. It will be shown that in some patients operation can be performed entirely on the basis of echocardiographic findings.
