Comparison Between a Robotic Tele-echo-cardiography Technique and a Standard Echocardiography in the Management of Heart Failure in the Guadeloupe Archipelago Between the University Hospital of Guadeloupe and the Marie-Galante Hospital (NCT07265986)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The TERdeblue-S study is a feasibility study of robotic remote echocardiography, not only in terms of technology but also in terms of its integration into a telemedicine system to improve access to the heart failure management system in the Guadeloupe archipelago. The main objective of this study is to study the agreement of the measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (FejVG) between in situ echocardiography (EIS) and two-dimensional remote echocardiography (TER) (distance and volumes).
