Potential role of targeted echocardiography as a screening test for select diagnoses in the paediatric population: bicuspid aortic valve and left ventricular hypertrophy
The risk of missing clinically important findings with targeted echocardiography that would have been identified with comprehensive echocardiography is extremely low for screening indications of isolated left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram or family history of bicuspid aortic valve, suggesting that targeted echocardiography could be an effective screening tool.
