An echocardiogram is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the heart's function and structures.
One of the best ways to learn about the heart is to watch it work. But how can you do that, considering that if you open up the thora...

Echocardiogram vs. EKG – What Are They? When considering echocardiogram vs. EKG its important to have a basic understanding of both tests. Both the echocardiogram and EKG are very important and are commonly used heart tests that are instrumental in diagnosing various forms of heart disease. The echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart that […]
An echocardiogram, particularly in third trimester of pregnancy, may help in diagnosing persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

This week we will discuss the aorta and review the morphology and the correct aortic measurement techniques to perform during an echocardiogram.
The 60/60 sign in echocardiography includes BOTH a pulmonary acceleration time less than 60 and a tricuspid regurg. pressure gradient less than 60.

Last week, we covered the basic anatomy of the mitral apparatus. We reviewed in detail, the various structures and their function. As we continue with our mitral regurgitation blog series, we want to touch next on, specific imaging windows to evaluate the mitral valve. Remember, when we examine the valve, we need to make sure […]
It sounds to be a simple question . But, cardiology literature is sparse on the subject. RV mimics a three dimensional triangular chamber .The inflow, body and outflow align themselves in complex planes .This makes measurement difficult. What are the measurements to be made ? RV inflow tract (RVIT) RV body RV outflow tract (RVOT)…

EPSS is a simple, easy to learn tool that allows a quick estimation of left ventricular function. The value of EPSS lies in its objective findings that do not require specialized training for interpretation and utilization, as shown by numerous studies. In patients without mitral or aortic valvular pathology, EPSS can be obtained from a single echocardiography view, providing quantifiable information on heart function within minutes. EPSS > 7mm is typically cited as the cut-off for abnormal ejection fraction (
