Screening for Heart Failure in Patients with Hypertension And/Or Diabetes Using Hand-Held Echocardiography: A Pilot Study
HHE-based focused HF screening allows for the early identification of numerous cases of Stage B and mild Stage C HF in high-risk populations. A stepwise screening strategy incorporating symptoms, NT-proBNP, and HHE is feasible and cost-effective and should be adopted in community-based primary care settings.
