Summary

This study tests a training program that teaches family doctors how to use focused heart ultrasound (FoCUS) to check for common heart conditions like heart failure, valve disease, and atrial fibrillation. About 500 patients with suspected heart problems will get both a doctor-performed ultrasound and a standard cardiologist exam. Researchers will compare the results to see how well the doctors' findings match the specialists'.
