Article Synopsis
- Performing an effective echocardiographic examination requires well-trained technical staff, known as Cardiac Sonographers, who play a crucial role in the process.
- There has been ongoing discussion about the best training curriculum for Cardiac Sonographers, with guidelines suggested by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) gaining recognition in Italy, although official acknowledgment from the National Health System is still lacking.
- Recently, organizations like the Società Italiana di Ecografia Cardiovascolare (SIEC) have shown interest in formalizing the role of Cardiac Sonographers, drawing on successful examples from the USA and other countries to potentially enhance the Italian healthcare system's efficiency and quality.
