Summary: This week we delve into the world of noninvasive imaging and review a very novel approach from the team at Stanford University about tele-visits and the use of remote parentally acquired, focused echocardiograms for monitoring of Marfan's patients. Can any parent be trained to perform a focused echocardiogram in their homes? What is the cost associated with this approach? Can this technique be applied to other cardiovascular problems? We speak with Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Seda Selamet Tierney about her recent work on this interesting topic. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2021.01.004
