A Counterblast to Pessimists and Naysayers – Intelligent Echocardiography Remains the Foundation Stone of Evidence-Based Clinical Cardiology

Abstract

Provocative comments can entertain and instruct as long as they are used to stimulate a civilized discussion, and it is fun to embrace an opportunity to change one’s mind (and learn). I am therefore delighted to respond to Adrian Ionescu’s comments, although I think he has got it wrong—as I will aim to demonstrate. In the spirit of this debate, please indulge me while I too let off some steam!
