Potential abnormality | View and Assessment |
---|---|
All comprehensive studies | PLAX 2D assessment of: |
- left ventricular chamber dimensions at the level of the mitral valve leaflet tips (interventricular septum thickness, left ventricular end-diastolic & systolic dimensions, left ventricular posterior wall thickness) | |
- aorta and left atrium diameter at the aortic cusp level | |
Dependent on the presence of potential mitral or aortic valve disease | Standardized additional studies including routine acquisition of colour, continuous and pulse wave Doppler measurements |
Any other pathology | As per routine clinical protocols |
