Surgically created shunts in congenital heart disease are usually palliative procedures for complex cyanotic congenital heart diseases.

Ventricular septal defect: 2-D and Doppler echocardiograms

Vegetation on tricuspid valve seen on echocardiography from a modified apical four chamber view.

Parasternal long axis view is usually the first view which is obtained in echocardiography.

Echo showing right ventricle, aorta, left atrium, left ventricle and flail posterior mitral leaflet which points back into the left atrium during systole.

E/A reversal in Doppler echo tracing in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Doppler tracing of mitral flow in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Colour Doppler echocardiogram in tricuspid regurgitation.

2-D and color Doppler echocardiographic images of atrial septal defect with left to right shunt.

Apical five chamber view is useful in assessing all four chambers along with the aortic valve.
