First trimester diagnosis of heart malformations: The aim of this presentation is to simplify the process of fetal cardiac assessment and enable detection of the majority of anomalies when imaging the four chambers of the heart and the outflow tracts using colour and ensuring the most appropriate...

The use of ultrasound has moved to centre stage in the management of haemodynamically unstable patient. The ability to apply rapidly, the mobility of devices, and bedside delivery are amongst the advantages in using it. In particular, the widespread application of echocardiography has greatly cha...

Cardiovascular examination is traditionally performed exclusively with the use of a stethoscope since its invention nearly 200 years ago.
