FATE (Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography) is the
original focused echocardiography protocol practiced since 1989 as
a supplement to the clinical evaluation. FATE is easily and quickly
learned and meets the basic echocardiographic needs for the
non-cardiologist in order to guide cardiopulmonary optimization in
all relevant clinical scenarios and locations. FATE can be
performed in few seconds or extended to a more comprehensive
echocardiographic examination depending on the clinical
requirements.
