Why the study?
Demand on echocardiography services is ever increasing, creating a need to standardise care and provide incremental value for adult TTE requests.
The updated BSE consensus statement provides a standardized framework for triaging adult TTE requests to manage increasing demand and ensure appropriate use of echocardiography services.
Supports standardized adult TTE use to optimize services; extends prior guidance with updated indications and triaging protocols.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is widely utilised within many aspects of clinical practice, as such the demand placed on echocardiography services is ever increasing. In an attempt to provide incremental value for patients and standardise patient care, the British Society of Echocardiography in collaboration with the British Heart Valve Society have devised updated guidance for the indications and triaging of adult TTE requests for TTE services to implement into clinical practice.

Bennett et al. (2022) studied Cardiac structure and function assessment. Standardized triaging system for TTE requests was evaluated. The British Society of Echocardiography devised updated consensus guidance for the indications and triaging of adult transthoracic echocardiography requests to standardize patient care and optimize service delivery.
