Heart, lung & circulation, 29(6), 859–866. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2019.02.196 | Journal: | Heart, Lung & Circulation | Abstract: | Echocardiographic screening in school-aged children can detect rheumatic heart disease (RHD) prior to the manifestation of symptoms of heart failure. The challenge is making this practical and affordable on a global scale. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic utility of an ultra-abbreviated echocardiographic screening protocol involving a single parasternal-long-axis-view-sweep of the heart (SPLASH) in two dimensional (2D) and colour Doppler imaging (index test). | Description: | Cairns & Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) affiliated author: Ben Reeves | DOI: | 10.1016/j.hlc.2019.02.196 | Keywords: | Children;Echocardiography;Rheumatic heart disease;Screening | Type: | Article |
