REPRESENTATIVE CASE STUDY REQUIREMENTS

Adult Stress Representative Cases:

The required stress case studies are now based on the total number of staff (medical and technical) that perform stress echo in an applicant laboratory. Following are the required number of stress case studies per base laboratory:

5 or fewer staff = 4 cases per lab

6 to 8 staff = 6 cases per lab

9 to 15 staff = 8 cases per lab

16 to 25 staff = 10 cases per lab

Greater than 25 staff = 12 cases per lab

All cases must be abnormal (positive stress cases, or cases with a regional wall motion abnormality at rest).

Cases must represent as many staff as possible. When submitting case studies, do not duplicate staff members (medical and technical) until all staff have been represented at least once.

One case study must be submitted from the Technical Director.

Medical Director must be represented.

All representative cases must have been performed within the past three years.

Submit only BEST cases.

Rest and post images must be submitted in a side by side format.
