As a common cardiovascular disease,the prevalence and mortality rate of coronary heart disease are increasing year by year,and the onset age tends to be younger,which is a serious threat to the safety of human life and brings great pressure to the society.As a first-line imaging technology,echocardiography can qualitatively and quantitatively reflect cardiac changes from multiple respects,such as cardiac structure and function,myocardial motion and perfusion,strain characteristic and reserve,and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis assessment of coronary heart disease.This article reviews the current application and research progress of echocardiography on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.
