Cardiac & Vascular Imaging ACC/AHA guidelines for the clinical application of echocardiography American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association. Heart failure. American Medical Directors Association 1996. 12 pages. From the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary: "Patients with heart failure should be considered for an imaging study, such as an echocardiogram or radionuclide scan, if not previously performed, unless such a study is precluded by other factors. These imaging studies should determine whether systolic or diastolic dysfunction is dominant given that this information is imperative in selecting pharmacological management ." Coronary artery disease with myocardial infarction American College of Physicians. 1996 Apr 22. 5 pages (guideline); 21 pages (background paper). From the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary: "Although the acute use of such specialized technologies as echocardiography and perfusion imaging may provide additional information in specific clinical situations, their incremental value in the acute evaluation of patients who may have an infarction has not been proven. Thus, we cannot currently recommend their routine use." Practice management guidelines for screening of blunt cardiac injury Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma. 1998. 31 pages. From the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary: "If the patient is hemodynamically unstable, an imaging study (echocardiogram) should be obtained. If an optimal transthoracic echocardiogram cannot be performed, then the patient should have a transesophageal echocardiogram. Nuclear medicine studies add little when compared to echocardiography and, thus, are not useful if an echocardiogram has been performed."
