Overview

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

OR

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendix tumors, appendix mucucele, and appendicitis as the most prevalent complication of appendiceal cancers. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

There are no echocardiography findings associated with appendix cancer.However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of carcinoid tumor; If a patient develop carcinoid syndrome transthoracic echocardiography is the method of choice in the diagnosis and follow-up of carcinoid heart disease.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

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]
• [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]
• [Complication 3]
• There are no echocardiography findings associated with appendix cancer.
• However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of carcinoid tumor; If a patient develop carcinoid syndrome transthoracic echocardiography is the method of choice in the diagnosis and follow-up of carcinoid heart disease. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of carcinoid heart disease include:
  • Tricuspid regurgitation
  • Thickening and retraction of immobile tricuspid valve leaflets
  • Immobility of the pulmonary valve cusps
