Description
EchoRef is a free iOS ultrasonography educational reference covering point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Additionally, it contains cardiac dimensions, native/prosthetic valve measurements, hemodynamic/ultrasound calculations, and lessons ranging from interventional procedures to mechanical circulatory support.
This app is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of information provided by this app.

Echo tools
I’m in school for adult echo and I love the app mainly because it has all the formulas in one location and convenient but all the other info and images are Extremely beneficial. Thank you for developing this helpful tool.

Thank you.
One word ‘excellent’.
I’m aspiring for Cardiology. This helps me a lot.

Great resource for anesthesia residents
CA2 on my echo rotation! Thank you for creating and offering this app for as a free resource! I am very excited to show my attending tomorrow in the OR.

Great App!!
Ideal for 1st year cardiology fellows learning how to read echo! Definitely saves time for trainees who are still dependent on the chamber qualification guidelines for normal cutoffs. Some of the normal chamber size ranges need to be updated from 2015 ASE guidelines (supplemental table 3) but otherwise a great app.
