Manage episode 436825919 series 3528644
Echocardiography is an essential tool in a wide range of clinical scenarios. Appropriate use of an echocardiogram ("echo" scan) can improve clinical outcomes by increasing diagnostic accuracy, providing non-invasive or minimally invasive assessment of disease status and risk stratification and enabling real-time monitoring and guidance of interventional procedures. However, there can be confusion surrounding when to appropriately refer a patient from primary care. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at various conditions and when to consider the use of echo scans for them.
