The study requires 2 visits to OHSU.
At the first visit a cardiac physical exam will be done by a cardiologist.
At a second visit, a different cardiologist will perform an ultrasound scan (as part of your standard of care) using a Vscan Ultrasound System. The first and the second visit may be done on the same day depending upon your schedule and if it's convenient for you to stay. The total exam time for both the visits, including standard exam and the study device exam will be about 45 minutes.
