Pediheart Podcast #153: Appropriate Use Of Echo In The Evaluation Of Palpitations




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we delve into the world of general cardiology and echocardiography to evaluate the role of the echo in the evaluation of a palpitation patient. Which pediatric palpitation patients should undergo an echo? What is the yield of this test in this patient group? What is the appropriate evaluation of a palpitation patient and what testing should such a patient undergo? We speak with Dr. Saloni Sheth, 3rd year resident in pediatrics at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio about a recent work she published on this topic.
