The epidemic of COVID-19 has grown to pandemic proportions and the preventive and mitigation measures have been widely spread through the media. The cardiologists are called as consultants for the cardiovascular pathologies and echocardiography is a fundamental examination in many clinical situations, but not without risks for health staff. Società Italiana di Ecocardiografia e CardioVascular Imaging Council has decided to formulate a document aimed to highlight the importance of a correct indication and execution procedure of the echocardiogram during a COVID-19 pandemic.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情已发展到全球大流行的程度，预防和缓解措施已通过媒体广泛传播。心脏病专家被召集作为心血管疾病的顾问，超声心动图在许多临床情况下是一项基本检查，但对医护人员来说并非没有风险。意大利超声心动图和心血管成像学会理事会已决定制定一份文件，旨在强调在COVID-19大流行期间正确开具超声心动图检查指征和执行程序的重要性。
