Cardiac Imaging Guidelines

Cardiac imaging guidelines provide doctors with recommendations on when and how to use imaging tests—like echocardiograms, CT scans, or MRIs—to evaluate heart health. These guidelines aim to ensure imaging is appropriate, accurate, and effective in diagnosing or monitoring heart conditions. They consider factors like patient symptoms, risk factors, and clinical history to avoid unnecessary tests and ensure timely detection of issues such as blockages, heart function, or structural abnormalities. Overall, these guidelines help clinicians make informed decisions to improve patient outcomes while minimizing unnecessary procedures.
