The Doppler/echocardiography technique for non-invasive cardiac investigation is described with details of both the principles used and the difficulties involved. No attempt will be made to give a comprehensive account as space is limited, but hopefully some appreciation of the technique will be acquired. A description of the Lancaster service is given. The high standard of the equipment and the experience of the staff, means that the local service is accepted as equal to that of the major cardiological centres in adult cardiology.
