The diagnostic methods addressed herein should be part of the basic diagnostic armamentarium of all clinicians and can be largely applied not only to patients at an emergency department but likewise to patients at a general ward. Applications include: Sonographic assessment in case of insufficient transthoracic imaging conditions [[55]] Detection of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation of unknown onset prior to undergoing cardioversion Evaluation for infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with high clinical suspicion of IE and a negative or non-diagnostic TTE, and in those with intracardiac device leads or suspected prosthetic valve IE. Case - thoracic computed tomography Acute MRI may be helpful if the result of a CT scan is inconclusive I CT shows bilateral pulmonary embolism indicated by an absence of contrast media in the left main pulmonary trunk. Investigation of ventilated patients [[60]] TEE is furthermore indispensable for the visualization and confirmation of the position of ECMO guidewires and cannula while treating patients with refractory cardiac arrest using peripheral bifemoral VA ECMO [[61]]. 8 Case - thoracic computed tomography Conclusion Novel diagnostic tools at the Emergency Department increase the precision and speed of emergency diagnostics Novel modern laboratory, POC and imaging diagnostic tools at the Emergency Department increase the precision and speed of the emergency diagnostic work-up process from the initial symptom to the final diagnosis.
