Abstract

Erik Sloth from Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark, proposed Focused Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE) in 2004.1 In 2010, there was a revision of the FATE protocol to include an extended FATE examination (extended views) by his group. FATE is a rapid and systematic protocol for cardiopulmonary screening and monitoring. Many other models and protocols have been described.
