Heart ultrasound showdown: trained generalists vs. experts in liver patients

NCT ID NCT03650660

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether gastroenterologists (liver doctors) who are not heart ultrasound specialists, but received standard training, could measure heart function as accurately as experts in patients with severe cirrhosis and swelling. The goal was to see if simple heart assessments could be done by the treating liver doctor. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
