Abstract

AHA Guidelines

• For diagnosis of overt or suspected cardiovascular disease with follow up recording for change in status
• For accessing results of therapy
• In subjects at risk of heart disease (>40 with two or more RF). Follow up only if symptoms or signs of heart disease
• In subjects with fewer risk factors whose occupations magnify the consequences of a heart attack or arrhythmia (pilot, bus driver)
• Pre-operative aid in diagnosis of pre-op conditions and subsequent post-op complications
• For assessing cardiac effects of systemic diseases or conditions, such as renal failure, DKA, hypothermia, electrolyte abnormalities and drug effects
