Echocardiography in the Emergency Department: From the Perspective of the Emergency Physician and the Cardiologist.
Echocardiography performed in the emergency department must adapt to this new setting for noninvasive diagnostic testing. Emergency physicians require echocardiography to provide rapid diagnosis in life-threatening emergencies. New initiatives are being proposed by emergency physicians in the delivery of this test. Cardiologists now use echocardiography in the emergency department to make the diagnosis of heart disease earlier and with greater accuracy.
