TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy of medical students using an HCU device after brief echocardiographic training to detect valvular disease, left ventricular dysfunction, enlargement, and hypertrophy was superior to that of experienced cardiologists performing cardiac physical examinations.

TL;DR: The inherent limitations of the physical examination as well as the reduced focus and training in physical diagnosis of current and recent medical school graduates has set the stage for the HCU device to modify traditional medical practices by complementing thePhysical examination with real-time cardiovascular imaging.

TL;DR: Low-frequency, low-intensity ultrasound improves myocardial tissue perfusion and pH in the presence of a fixed coronary artery Occlusion in 14 animals with coronary artery occlusion.

TL;DR: The hand-carried cardiac ultrasound device identified 86 cardiac findings and obviated the need for further comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation in 90% of patients (113 of 126).

TL;DR: Noninvasive, transthoracic low-frequency USD energy results in coronary artery vasodilation within seconds of exposure, which is reversible and is similar in magnitude to that induced by NTG.
