مستخلص: One of the main tasks of a scientific society is to define the theoretical bases and appropriate management strategies with the aim to maintain a high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic standard. As far as echocardiography is concerned, the task of the Italian Society of Cardiovascular Echography is to provide appropriate, complete, and useful echocardiographic tests for clinical application, as well as procedural, technological, organizational and economic indications to be adopted in clinical practice. In addition, there is an increasing need for regulating access to echocardiographic assessment according to clinical priority, because of the huge proportion of patients who should undergo a first or follow-up echocardiographic evaluation. The aim of this document is to implement appropriateness in echocardiography for the study and follow-up of cardiovascular diseases, and to optimize demand on the basis of clinical priority classification criteria outlined by the scientific societies and used by the National Health Service. Besides cardiovascular diseases, this document also addresses other diseases that often require echocardiographic investigation, such as liver diseases, connective tissue diseases, endocrine diseases, peripheral vascular and oncological diseases. Although not included in the previous guidelines, clinical priority and followup criteria are defined also for these groups of diseases according to the available literature. In conclusion, this document aims at guaranteeing access to the diagnostic echocardiographic procedures provided by the National Health Service to the general population, with practical indications on how to solve the problem of waiting lists.
