Parasternal long axis (PLAX) view – echocardiogram – split screen images Split screen display with side by side display of 2-D (2 dimensional) and Colour Doppler imaging in
Mobile left atrial mass – echocardiogram in multiple views This animated image shows a mass in the left atrium prolapsing into the left ventricle in diastole, as is
Echocardiographic profile of prosthetic mitral valve with series of images: Echocardiographic imaging of a prosthetic valve is often challenging due the dense acoustic shadowing cast by the valve
Mobile thrombi detected by echocardiography in right heart has been called Taenia cordis. Usually it occurs along with massive pulmonary embolism and generally indicates a poor prognosis.
Vena contracta for quantification of mitral regurgitation Measurement of the Vena Contracta is one of the methods for quantification of mitral regurgitation.Vena contracta is the narrowest region of
Point-of-care handheld echocardiography (Hand held echocardiograph – Representative image) Initially echocardiographs were large machines with poor resolution. Later advances in electronics miniaturized the machines while improving the resolutions.
Assessment of myocardial viability by echocardiography: Echocardiographic techniques are safe and do not have the risk of ionizing radiation like nuclear perfusion studies and positron emission tomography. But
Strain and strain rate imaging for myocardial viability: Myocardial strain is a measure of deformation of a myocardial segment relative to its initial length. Strain rate is the
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) has been used in the assessment of myocardial viability. Myocardial segments with normal perfusion and those with patchy perfusion are considered to be viable.
