Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].

OR

Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

• Ultrasound and doppler imaging may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis.. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of acute tubular necrosis include:
  • [Finding 2]
  • Resistive Index (RI) is elevated ≥0.75.  
  • Resistive Index ≥0.75 has 91.3% sensitivity and 85.2% specificity to distinguish acute tubular necrosis from prerenal azotemia.

OR

• There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
  • [Complication 1]
  • [Complication 2]
  • [Complication 3]
