Abstract :

Despite the vast selection of medical tests and tools, patient satisfaction and rate of treatment success has not been as significant as anticipated. Beside the human error, one reason is that we use technique much too often before we examine the patient or listen to his/her history. Tests and tools are very important, but only successful when we know what to do with the result. Another issue bothering many patients in clinical practice is the fact that despite the patient not feeling better, many doctors emphasize this being impossible, because results based on technical examinations show improvement. In this presentation, data and cases will be presented to enlighten the diagnostic path and the useful utilization of tests and techniques in cardiology on the way to improve patient care in cardiology.
