<unk>  (or FATE) is a type of<unk>  echocardiogram, or sonogram of the heart, often performed by non-cardiologist. The protocol has been used since 1989 and has four projections; subcostal four-chamber, apical four-chamber, parasternal long axis and parasternal short axis. The original<unk> ed cardiac ultrasound protocol for non-cardiologists was devised by Dr Erik Sloth in 1989 and has formed the basis of hands-on FATE courses ever since. The success of the original protocol has inspired a surge of replicas in many shapes and the coining of many imaginative acronyms: FEER, FEEL,<unk> , Bleep, HART, FUSE etc. These are all variations of the original theme 1.
