Summary

The study's objective is to evaluate if exams, performed with the HeartFocus software by novices, are of sufficient quality to visually analyze the left ventricular size, the left ventricular function, the right ventricular size, and the presence of non-trivial pericardial effusion. Novices will be nurses without prior ultrasound experience who have received dedicated training on cardiac ultrasound and on Heartfocus software. Ultrasound exams will be limited to the acquisition of 10 reference views
