HeartGuide: Preliminary Study
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
Echocardiography is the examination of choice for the study of cardiac pathologies. Interest of echocardiography for other medical specialties has already been demonstrated (intensive care in the case of hemodynamic failure - in intra and extra hospital emergency medicine for the initial assessment of chest pain or dyspnea). The expansion of echocardiography'use has been catalyzed by miniaturization of echographic systems and decrease in their price. Recently, probes directly connected to a tablet or phone have been developed at a limited cost. Therefore, it's possible to consider these ultrasound scanners as the new stethoscope that could be used by any health professional. The last limit to this democratization is the training, especially for non-specialists (non-cardiologists).
