Abstract		Echocardiography is capable of establishing the diagnosis of any form of congenital heart disease. The spectrum of congenital heart disease in adults differs from that seen in infarction and children. In a paediatric population, more complex lesion predominate, while in adult simpler lesions, such as atrial septal defect, are most common. The echocardiographic evaluation of congenital heart disease requires attention to several parameters not usualy evaluated in the adult population. Transesophageal echocardiography provides incremental information with respect to image quality in adults. The article describes echocardiography characteristics of some common congenital lesions in adulthood.
Summary		Ehokardiografija omogoča opredelitev vseh prirojenih srčnih napak. Spekter prirojenih srčnih napak pri odraslih se razlikuje od tistega pri otrocih. V pediatrični populaciji prevladujejo bolniki z zapletenimi srčnimi napakami, medtem ko pri odraslih prevladujejo enostavnejše napake, kot je defekt preddvornega pretina. Ehokardiografija prirojenih srčnih napak zahteva nekatere meritve, ki jih sicer pri odraslih ne opravljamo.Transezofagealna ehokardiografija daje več informacij predvsem na račun boljše pregledhosti. Članek opisuje ehokardiografsko sliko nekaterih najbolj pogostih prirojenih srčnih napak v odrasli dobi.
