abstract:The HEART scan is a rapid assessment tool for identifying haemodynamically significant cardiac abnormalities in the critical care setting. It is similar to the Focused assessment with sonography for trauma scan in concept, although it is directed at the heart rather than the abdomen.
Mr Peuschel was first diagnosed with a heart complaint at the age of 11 and had been referred for an MRI scan following a routine scan just a month before his death, the Spilsby inquest was told.
