Q. Hello, I am reviewing normal values for adult echo. For accreditation purposes should I be using ASE 2015. Normal value charts?
Thanks, CM
A. Since the most widely cited and used values are from the 2015 Chamber Quantification Guidelines, it is best to use the values from this document. Three Canadians are on the panel for the guideline writing committee for this document. The CSE has also endorsed this document as well.
