Echocardiography is increasingly used as a rapid examination tool in patients with acute cardiovascular conditions. Such examination is carried out by doctors with various specializations. The article deals with this issue, particularly with the rapid examination of patients with acute chest pain, acute heart failure, shock states, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, complications of myocardial infarction, acute disease of the ascending aorta as well as other acute cardiovascular conditions and diseases or of those suspected to have them.

Keywords: acute echocardiography, emergency echocardiography, focused cardiac ultrasound, acute cardiovascular care.
