M-Mode Measurement of the Left Ventricle

Posted by Medvideographer · Leave a Comment 

In this teaching video, Tommy shows you how to perform m-mode measurement of the left ventricle (LV) using echocardiography. When you do the measurement, always make sure that the ventricle has a round (not oval) appearance. If the ventricle looks oval, you should probably move the transducer up one intercostal space. Enjoy!

Low-Flow Aortic Stenosis

Posted by Medvideographer · Leave a Comment 

In this video, Tommy will teach you how to evaluate a patient with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis. This patient later underwent stress echocardiography. In patients with true aortic stenosis and reduced left ventricular function, the transvalvular gradient will increase whereas the valve area will remain unchanged. This patient’s mean gradient increased to over 40 mmHg following dobutamine administration, which was indicative of significant stenosis. He was consequently transferred for surgery and is currently doing well. It can be really tricky to differentiate true- from pseudostenosis. Our online course will provide more information on the topic. If you register, we will let you know as soon as the full course is online.

Optimized 4-Chamber View: the Right Ventricle

Posted by Medvideographer · Leave a Comment 

Sometimes, the right ventricle is not clearly visible in the standard four chamber view. In this echocardiography video, Tommy will teach you how to optimize your image in order to get a better view at the the right ventricular structures. We encourage you to experiment with the transducer position in your patients. Try to use atypical views on top of your standard exam. Your understanding of cardiac anatomy and your reports will greatly improve!
