Screening for left ventricular dysfunction using a hand-carried cardiac ultrasound device

Background: The hand‐carried cardiac ultrasound (HCU) device is a recently introduced imaging device, which may be potentially useful in the primary care setting. Aim: To test the screening potential of a HCU for the detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction by evaluating LV ejection fraction (...
