Abstract

Echocardiography plays a central role in the cardiovascular assessment and surveillance of patients with active cancer or in remission. With the development of specialised cardio-oncology services, the demand for echocardiography in cancer patients continues to grow. Here we explain the nuances of echocardiography in cardio-oncology, and detail how our institution has optimised service delivery to minimise cancer patient healthcare visits, improve time to cardio-toxicity diagnosis and utilising physiologists to lead cancer survivorship clinics.

期刊介绍： Echo Research and Practice aims to be the premier international journal for physicians, sonographers, nurses and other allied health professionals practising echocardiography and other cardiac imaging modalities. This open-access journal publishes quality clinical and basic research, reviews, videos, education materials and selected high-interest case reports and videos across all echocardiography modalities and disciplines, including paediatrics, anaesthetics, general practice, acute medicine and intensive care. Multi-modality studies primarily featuring the use of cardiac ultrasound in clinical practice, in association with Cardiac Computed Tomography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance or Nuclear Cardiology are of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to: 2D echocardiography 3D echocardiography Comparative imaging techniques – CCT, CMR and Nuclear Cardiology Congenital heart disease, including foetal echocardiography Contrast echocardiography Critical care echocardiography Deformation imaging Doppler echocardiography Interventional echocardiography Intracardiac echocardiography Intraoperative echocardiography Prosthetic valves Stress echocardiography Technical innovations Transoesophageal echocardiography Valve disease.
