Pediheart Podcast #153: Appropriate Use Of Echo In The Evaluation Of Palpitations

This week we delve into the world of general cardiology and echocardiography to evaluate the role of the echo in the evaluation of a palpitation patient. Which pediatric palpitation patients should undergo an echo? What is the yield of this test in this patient group? What is the appropriate evaluation of a palpitation patient and what testing should such a patient undergo? We speak with Dr. Saloni Sheth, 3rd year resident in pediatrics at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio about a recent work she published on this topic.
