Objective: To assess the diagnostic capability of handheld echocardiography (HHE) compared with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed and evaluated by experienced sonographers and expert echocardiographers.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective study of adult outpatients undergoing comprehensive TTE between July 9, 2012, and April 3, 2013. Experienced sonographers performed a detailed, standardized examination using a handheld ultrasound device that included 2-dimensional and color Doppler images from standard imaging windows.
