@ASE360 for certain structures, how will you know if it is advisable to go at an angle with the cursor or just to come straight down. I’ve tried asking my instructor, however it was very confusing as to what she was saying. I came in at an angle for the RV but she said don’t do that. Same thing with the LA. I just get really confused. PLEASE HELP!❤ thank you 😊
for the most part, you should be trying to find the minor and major axis for structures that you are measuring in 2D
Good evening.....if ivs valve thickness increased ...what will be next... Normal range is 6 to 11....but if 13 mean...
Is there any problems??? Please tell me Madam
Hi
Hello...how can I contact you
My LVPW (D) is 1.12cm (11.1mm) is this normal?
is RWT of 0.46 normal for 23 year old...? My EF is 65%.
I can't speak on the RWT, if your cardiologist didn't say anything you're good.
Your EF though, is just perfect, it's the best someone can have for longevity after multiple studies so long life to you sir.
