TTE daily preventive exercice

Our hospital is an academic center with an echo lab specialized in training of cardiology fellows and technicians. Since 1980 we have developed with two of our dedicated physiotherapists a program of stretching and muscle training to prevent injuries associated with performing transthoracic echocardiographic  exams from the right or the left side of the patient We would like to share with you a short video of 10 to 15 minutes stretching exercices prior to your working session.
