The Echocardiographers' Guide by Ted Plappert, Martin G. St. John Sutton

By Ted Plappert, Martin G. St. John Sutton

The manufactured from the author's mixed fifty-four years of expertise in cardiac ultrasound at college hospitals, The Echocardiographer's consultant is designed to fill the necessity for a realistic and whole source for all technologists and physicians appearing transthoracic Doppler/echocardiographic examinations. all the six chapters targeting specific components of cardiac pathology is prefaced with a dialogue of the suitable cardiac anatomy and body structure that's prerequisite to acquiring considerate and goal-oriented stories and whole diagnoses.

32). 33). Systolic flow into the RA is predominant as the base of the heart moves toward the apex. 30 A short axis near the cardiac apex. The arrow indicates a trabeculation crossing the LV cavity (LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle). 31 Subcostal four-chamber view. The anatomy sampled in this view is identical to that seen in the apical fourchamber view except that the apex is generally not seen in the subcostal four-chamber view (RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium).

4 ϩ LVID) ϫ (LVID3)) includes the correction factor developed by Teicholz et al, which better reflects the axis ratio of the enlarged ventricle. Wall thickness and left ventricular mass The relative wall thickness (H/r ratio) is defined as twice the posterior wall thickness divided by the LVID in diastole. 42 is diagnostic of pressure overload hypertrophy. 36 LV mass (LVM) can be calculated by M-mode using the cube or the Teicholz formulae for volumes. 055 g/cm3) to yield muscle mass in grams. 055 ϫ ((PWT ϩ LVID ϩ IVST)3 Ϫ (LVID)3) where PWT is posterior wall thickness and IVST is interventricular septal thickness.

Color Doppler shows red flow in the ascending aorta and the blue flow in the descending aorta. 37 (A) The abdominal aorta (Dao) is seen in its long axis. Two arteries are seen arising from the anterior surface of the Dao. They are the celiac trunk (1) and the superior mesenteric artery (2). (B) The abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava (IVC) are seen in short axis. 38 Suprasternal notch view with the aorta in long axis. The brachiocephalic vessels arising from the superior aspect of the transverse aorta (Tao) are from proximal to distal: the innominate (a), the left common carotid (b), and the left subclavian (c).
