Cardiac STRUCTURES! Subcostal views, Echocardiography.

Nice clear videos. There is a mistake at 2:19 - the free wall of the LV has been verbalised as free wall of RV

[@the_echo_lady]

@@henkuanghoung4732 you are right... I said RV lateral wall instead of LV lateral wall ... Thank you for spotting it ... Yes it is the LV lateral wall 😊😊😊😊😊

[@drhabibulhaq6693]

Thank you so much for magnificent information..kindly make some videos on congenital heart disease

[@the_echo_lady]

Hello, thank you very much... I will try to do some simple congenital heart disease videos as I am not specialised in congenital

[@francislee3452]

Magnificent 👍👍

[@the_echo_lady]

Thank you Francis 🫀🖤🫀🖤🫀🖤🫀🖤🫀

[@DRJOEA]

Very nice 👌. One question: what is the ring shaped vessel on cross-section between the right atrium and right ventricle? Is it coronary sinus?

[@the_echo_lady]

Yes it is!!!

[@Monroe2026]

how do you know its a rvot or lvot on a scan. I just started echo program this week

[@lindarugovac7372]

Thank you !

[@ramirogarcia6231]

very good info

[@the_echo_lady]

Thank you, I am glad you liked it

[@kajorichakraborty2536]

Mam plz explain in which direction probe is turned to see rv outflow tract?

[@the_echo_lady]

I have a video explaining that on my channel...

[@kajorichakraborty2536]

Ma'am how to acquire all subcostal views? Where should probe marker be for showing rv outflow tract?

[@the_echo_lady]

@@kajorichakraborty2536 for subcostal view the marker should be pointing the patients left side. For RVOT you could get a short axis view...

[@samitparua]

It will be left vetricular free wall

[@micinum]

Now the question is can you measure EDV and ESV with what you will get EF in this view using modified Simpson method? Since there is a good look of the heart if you trace the heart in diastole and systole volume can be calculated. This is useful if there is no cardiac probe available. I will answer my own question: it is possible but not accurate and very very hard.

[@the_echo_lady]

Hello, well if you don't have a cardiac probe I don't know if you will able to get any suitable images anyways but this view shouldn't be the first choice when doing this measurements. I guess you can try to get as much information as you can if you don't have any other suitable views, but if you need cardiac information, then do a cardiac scan.

[@tungmanh2500]

@the echo lady Can you demonstrate us how to meassure EF in Subcostal 4 Chamber ? i have so many COPD patients that I could'nt get the parasternal long axis view :((

[@the_echo_lady]

Hello! Yes the subcostal view is very handy with that type of patients. I will recommend you to assess the EF visually as you can't do a Simpsons biplane as we only can see a "subcostal 4 chamber view"... Try also to obtain some short axis from the subcostal view and if you want to you can do M-mode across the middle segments to obtain an estimated EF by Teich-Holz method... Anyways as those views are extra views and not the common ones... I would assess the EF visually and state that in the report.
