Sponsor's own description
Discrimination between cardiac and non-cardiac causes of dyspnea can be challenging, causing excessive delay before adequate therapy. In clinical practice lung ultrasound (LUS) is becoming an easy and reliable noninvasive tool for the evaluation of dyspnea and can shorten the time to diagnosis .However the reproductibility of this test was not extensively studied.
