Comparitive Effectiveness of PME Versus Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)

United States200 participantsStarted 2012-06

Plain-language summary

A new hand held pocket echo device (GE Vscan) has now become available to clinicians, with limited data available comparing the effectiveness of this device as a screening tool when compared to traditional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of this hand-held echo (HHE) device in detecting cardiac pathology in a both an inpatient and outpatient clinical setting as compared to a comprehensive TTE evaluation.
