Dr Lang I et al i .[1] downplay the additional benefit of echocardiography in reducing parental anxiety, I following and not instead of i , counselling by the cardiologist[2] - one who acknowledges the importance of listening and communicating with his patients.[3] Our paper was strongly endorsed by an experienced congenital cardiologist, confirming his clinical impression that echocardiography further reduced parental anxiety despite reassurance that the murmur was innocent and the heart normal.[4] Measuring the likely drop in anxiety level prior to the child being seen if that was possible, and again following the diagnosis and explanation, does not detract from a further drop in parental anxiety following the echocardiogram. Lang I et al i .[1] questioned whether an innocent murmur diagnosed by a paediatric cardiologist warrants an echocardiogram. 5 Ip HL, Menahem S. Does echocardiography have a role in the cardiologist's diagnosis of innocent murmurs in childhood?. [Extracted from the article] |
