The CareCore National criteria for TTE were created by a panel of practicing academic and clinical cardiologists using the 2003 Guideline Update for the Clinical Use of Echocardiography, ACC/AHA 2006 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease, and ACCF/ASE/ACEP/ASNC/SCAI/SCCT/SCMR 2007 Appropriateness Criteria for Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography.
