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
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.
