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

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

OR

• Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of malignant breast lesions from gynecomastia.
• Ultrasound has 100 percent sensitiviy and negative predictive value of detecting malignant breast lesions. from gynecomastia.
• Positive predictive value of ultrasound studies is only 17 percent, so it is mainly done in gynecomastia if history and physical examination of patient raises any malignancy suspicions.

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]
