Esaote Enables Iowa Echo Telecardiology Program
The Iowa Heart Center created a telecardiology program that connects cardiologists in Des Moines with satellite facilities in rural towns around the state. With help from Esaote, patients can have their echo exams performed on a compact ultrasound system and delivered to Des Moines for review by experts. To learn more, watch the video by clicking here.
The Iowa Heart Center will detail its program during sessions at ACC.2013. March 9-11, in San Francisco.
Great use of echo and telemedicine
This is echo and telemedicine at its best! This is a wonderful arrangement. It's critical to have the right reviewers, it's very easy to miss a small vegetation, small PFO, or a bicuspid aortic valve. The reviewer really needs to have a keen eye and the right training and experience.
