Cardiac Ultrasound - Parasternal Long Axis - Part 1 - Sonosite, Inc.

Go to www.sonosite.com/education for more videos and information about ultrasound technology.
This video details the use of bedside ultrasound imaging and a phased array probe to evaluate cardiac structures and health, especially when looking for left ventricular contractility, the presence of pericardial effusion, and evaluating the left heart chamber size and valves. It reviews the four standard views of a cardiac echo examination-parasternal view (long axis), parasternal view (short axis), subxiphoid view, apical view-as well as cardiac structures and optimal transducer placements.

Hi George, thank you for your question. As you are looking at the diagram on the left at 2:42, the right coronary cusp is the "leaflet" on the left, and the non-coronary cusp is the "leaflet" on the right. You can see the two cusps represented on the ultrasound image next to the arrow labeled "Aortic Valve," where the right coronary cusp is on the top near the arrow and the non-coronary cusp is just below that.

Perfectly structured and beautifully presented! Thank you💐

très bien milles mercis

[@dap321don]

Very Helpful!!!!

[@minkycat66]

Are there any videos that actually show how to properly measure the 2D parasternal long axis?

[@carlramponi91]

Thank You.

[@VidUploDer]

thanks dude
where can i watch the rest of ur vids?

[@domenicogiannattasio9037]

Thank you very much very clear anything,but i would ask you: have you used probe microconvex p17 in the clip?

[@hakimkasaby4816]

thanks alot

[@emmapong1736]

how to know that is good contractility?

[@deankaras8359]

Was this pt in trigeminy?

[@lunamoon7028]

Have a question how can the body the heart repare itself!!?

[@danellavasquez7909]

I thought that during PLAX your indicator should be pointing towards right shoulder?

[@LADYVIKING05]

YES, IT SHOULD.

[@heidiluotolahti4305]

There are these two options

[@stefmaier3]

its orientation depends on if you are in cardiac mode or not

[@raveeshroy]

1:54 RIGHT ATRIUM NOT SEEN IN PARASTERNAL VIEW 2:49 MOST SUPERFICIAL CHAMBER IS THE RIGHT VENTRICLE 2:58 RV STRAIN 3:04 LONG STANDING HYPERTENSION

[@edwelndiobel1567]

When I had the ultrasound I was struck with how untidy the heart is. Its an impressive organ for sure and Im happy to have one its just that it looked so dumpy to me. The valve action was so clunky and the tissue frayed and imprecise. I have a normal healthy heart btw Im just saying that I think we could design a better heart if we had the ability to grow new ones.

[@boiyen]

thanks

[@rahaafzaly4149]

Where is the ascending aorta?
