Echocardiography Standard Protocol | Step by Step | Complete Trans-thoracic Normal Echocardiogram

In this video I am going to illustrate the protocol for performing complete and comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography, which meets the current standards of American Society of Echocardiography. I will not be going into a lot of pathological issues here so the protocol presented here is meant as a guideline and does not cover every aspect, such as off axis views. I am also going to talk basic probe position and major structures visible side by side with the protocol steps.
So when you follow the protocol you don't skip anything, you can get additional images according to the pathology found. I personally found that once I could execute the standard protocol flawlessly, I was able to add and refine additional echo scanning skills while deepening my understanding of the purpose of each echo image. So it's immensely useful to learn basic steps of protocol. We will start with parasternal long axis window followed by short axis, apical and in the end subcostal and suprasternal windows.

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Most Welcome ♥

[@talibrahiem5663]

Dear sir thanks .
My question is why was used the PW doppler in ASD instead of CW doppler?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Atria are lower pressure areas as compared to ventricles..so CW is used for VSD and PW for ASD ...because PW doppler is good to detect lower velocities..anyhow CW can also be used for ASD in case of atrial hypertension, restrictive shunts etc

[@5min_stories]

Does propranalol affect lvidd and lvids?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Not significantly..but it does increase end diastolic and end systolic volumes by decreasing heart rate

[@MrSin1113]

shall we measure the STJ, SoV and Asc aorta in mid systole (as inthe video) or end diastole?? thanks

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Usually we take measurements which are maximum whether in diastole or systole, guidelines suggest to take aortic root measurements in diastole, from leading edge to leading edge in adults.

[@CardioNotes]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chancesc6415]

Can you do a step by step protocol for a patient with an prosthetic valve of the aorta?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Yeah sure, will post separate videos on valve assessment soon 👍

[@goatcontender3123]

Sir what is the normal range for tricuspid and pulmonary valve peak gradients and velocity?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Normal peak velocity for tricuspid valve is less than 2.8ms as per guidelines..gradient of 31mmHg (4v2)
For pulmonary valve its less than 2m/s with gradient of 16mmHG

[@saraali-ho8fx]

I didn't understand stand how measure pulmonary veins in apical view?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Pulmonary veins are draining into LA, so in apical views, we can apply color doppler to assess flow, and then PW to get Pulmonary vein profile. Its pattern can suggest different pathologies, visit this link for differential

IVC collapsing,how we can understand ?

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

08:31 we apply the M mode on IVC, and take two measurememts, one when distended and other when collapsed, if its decreasing to more than 50% then we say that its collapsing. Otherwise it may indicate high RA pressures

No..echo is for detecting heart problems. For pancrease ultrasound or any other test depending upon the problem can be done

[@chicagomike]

Can you tell if your arteries are full of plaque from this test.

[@DrMUsmanJaved]

Best test for arteries is coronary angiography. Ehocardiogrqphy can suggest coronary artery diaease indirectly by showing wall motion abnormalities, but it cant tell surely if the arteries are full of plaque
