A mashup of Google technologies to create a free, simple, open-access database.
The upcoming ASE Guidelines ”Recommendations for Quantification Methods During the Performance of a Pediatric Echocardiogram”, is intended to serve as The Standard for measurement techniques in pediatric echo.

Anticipating the guidelines, I built a mashup that could serve as a skeleton for a common database of normal values:
