## Description

EchoCalc is a specialized medical reference Chrome extension designed to support clinicians with essential echocardiography reference data. It encompasses critical parameters such as left and right ventricular size and function, left ventricular mass, aortic and atrial dimensions, and diastolic function metrics. Users can access prosthetic valve data for aortic and mitral valves as well.

The extension features detailed topic guides explaining measurement techniques and interpretation of echocardiographic findings. It includes updated reference standards from the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) while allowing toggling to American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) references. Additionally, EchoCalc provides mobile-friendly access to current BSE guidelines covering a wide range of cardiac conditions and study protocols including transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, valvular diseases, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathies, and more. This tool complies with recent European medical app policies, making it a reliable companion for echo practitioners.

## Review summary

EchoCalc is highly valued for usefulness and ease of use in echocardiography, with a strong calculator feature and updated reference ranges in newer versions. The major recurring downsides are the removal of the calculator in recent updates, which frustrates long-time users, plus occasional compatibility and stability issues on some Android devices. Overall sentiment is mixed but leans positive where the calculator is available and performance is stable.

### Pros

- Very useful tool for echocardiography and daily practice.
- User-friendly interface and easy to use.
- In-app calculator for LV mass, LVMI, RWT, AVA, and other calculations.
- Updates added reference intervals (BSE, EACVI, ASE) improving usefulness.
- Excellent/hands-on tool valued by cardiologists and echocardiographers.

### Cons

- Calculator removed in the latest update, with many users requesting its return or an older version.
- Compatibility and performance issues on some Android versions/devices (e.g., Android 10, certain phones).
- Occasional crashes/not opening or failing to respond on some devices.
