Abstract 3: Improved aortic dimension assessment with specialist echocardiography clinics: a quality improvement study

[摘要] Aortopathy is a common clinical problem. Guidelinesrecommend the use of double-oblique short-axisimaging (CT/MRI) for significant aortic dilatation.Echocardiography is more readily available and costeffective. However, accuracy and reproducibility areaffected by operator variability. Good correlation betweenimaging techniques is vital for patient management, andmay reduce health care expense and ionizing radiation.
