Abstract

Echo examinations have been implemented in primary care, with more and more trained professionals using them. However, echocardiography is used much less frequently in health centers. The apparent complexity of echocardiography and the lack of sectoral probes may be the main reasons why non-cardiologist physicians do not use it. In this article, we summarize some tips to help with exploration.
