Appropriate use criteria (AUC) represent an important mechanism by which to promote the rational utilization of healthcare resources. No study to date has been conducted assessing the applicability of current AUC to transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) performed in a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). We analyzed 2 years of consecutive TTEs performed in a CICU at a quaternary‐care academic medical center, hypothesizing that current AUC may not adequately describe the role of TTE in a modern CICU.
