Heart scan showdown: expert vs. trainee in liver patients

NCT ID NCT03650660

First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a gastroenterologist (a liver doctor) with basic training could measure heart function using ultrasound as accurately as an intensive care expert in patients with severe cirrhosis and swelling. The goal was to see if simpler training could be enough for routine heart checks in these patients. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
