Explanatory note & references


These guidelines have been developed by the Education Committee of the British Society of Echocardiography. They have been adapted from the international recommendations and guidelines referenced below. Where there are differences between published values, or there is a lack of clear evidence, recommended values have been developed on the basis of consensus opinion. It is vital that echocardiographic measurements are made using standard, correct techniques and that all values are reported and interpreted in clinical context.
