2003, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :Poor agreement was noted for assessing LV wall motion (13 ± 6%) and valvular structure (43 ± 25%). The use of limited 2D echocardiography has proved useful to assist in rapid, accurate diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities in the emergency department.1-11 The Focused Abdominal Sonography for Trauma (FAST) examination is an example of ultrasonography used for rapid diagnosis during emergency-department evaluation of abdominal trauma.

Past recommendations have included various combinations of electrocardiograms (ECGs), cardiac rhythm monitoring, measurements of MB fraction of creatine kinase (CK-MB), and select cardiac imaging studies.55,72,80,103 Despite the past use of CK-MB, it has failed to predict impending cardiac complications.6,35,75,86
