One of the most important developments in the practice of cardiology in the past century has been the use of ultrasound to examine the heart or echocardiography. The first practical and wide spread use of this technique was developed in 1963 by investigators at the Krannert Institute headed by Dr. Harvey Feigenbaum. With the numerous world wide contributions to the field including papers, trainees, courses, lectures, books, and organizations by Dr. Feigenbaum and his coworkers, echocardiography has become by far the most frequently used cardiac imaging tool in the world. This group is still at the forefront in advances in this field. An example is the use of echocardiography with stress testing which again was developed at the Krannert Institute and continues to be advanced under the leadership of Dr. Stephen Sawada.
