Case Study Requirements
Case studies are required for each site in addition to those submitted as part of the primary site application.
ADULT FACILITY:
- 1 abnormal TTE (AS or LV case*) from each site.
- 1 representative Adult TEE case and its final report for each physician that performs TEE at the multiple site, unless previously represented at the main site (if applicable).
- 1 stress echocardiogram from each site. Any one of the following types of cases are acceptable for submission; abnormal wall motion at rest due to coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction, inducible wall motion abnormality due to coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction or a stress case using contrast (may be normal or abnormal).
*LV are cases of regional wall motion abnormalities due to coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction, not global LV dysfunction or diastolic dysfunction cases. Cases demonstrating Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (stress cardiomyopathy) with regional abnormalities will also be accepted. AS cases must be native valvular AS with a velocity of at least 2 m/sec.
PEDIATRIC FACILITY:
- 1 abnormal PTTE; any one of the following types of cases are acceptable for submission; shunt, simple obstruction or complex defect.
- 1 representative PTEE case and its final report for each physician that performs PTEE at the multiple site, unless previously represented at the main site.
- 1 abnormal fetal case study from each site (if applicable); any one of the following case types is acceptable for submission; complex defect, fetal arrhythmia, shunt, simple obstruction, or hypoplastic ventricle.
Upon completion of this form, an IAC staff member will e-mail instructions regarding how to upload cases and images for any new sites requested.
