AbstractEchocardiography is the accepted term for the study of cardiac ultrasound. It is a technique by which wecan do the imaging of the heart with the help of ultrasonography machine with a suitable probe. Thesetechniques provide valuable diagnostic information without risk to the patient as it is a non-invasiveprocedure. The M-mode, two-dimensional (2D mode), and Doppler mode are maximum practicedtechniques in echocardiography. Since there is no need of anaesthesia and special restraining procedure,the echocardiography is well developed and has become an integral part of cardiac evaluation of humans,small animal practices and reptile medicine especially in ophidian as well. But due to the huge body sizeand need of special restraining procedure with anaesthesia this technique is not established enough inwildlife practice particularly in sloth bear that belongs to ursidae family. The objective of this study is todevelop the procedure for assessment of optimal approaches of echocardiography in sloth bears such asinstrument selection, patient preparation and positioning etc and establish a cardiac image catalogue. Thiswill help to identify the normal echo-anatomy of the heart and possible measurements B mode and Mmode for further evaluation of the normal echocardial anatomy and colour flow Doppler to understandthe normal blood inflow and outflow of heart.Keywords: Echocardiography, Heart, Sloth bear, B-mode, M-mode, Doppler mode, Ultrasonography
