Chapter 11 - Echocardiographic Diagnosis and Monitoring of Right Ventricular Function
Video 11-1. This parasternal long-axis view shows septal dyskinesia related to right ventricular dysfunction.
Video 11-2. This transthoracic parasternal short-axis view shows the main pulmonary artery and its bifurcation.
Video 11-3. This transesophageal view shows the main pulmonary artery and its bifurcation.
Video 11-4. This short-axis subcostal view shows the main pulmonary artery with a pulmonary embolism.
Video 11-5. This subcostal long-axis view shows an enlarged right ventricle (RV) with a thickened RV free wall. This indicates that the RV has been under load for some period of time.
Video 11-6. This apical four-chamber view shows a large right ventricle (RV) as well as apical sparing of RV systolic function (McConnell’s Sign).
Video 11-7. This midesophageal four-chamber view shows an enlarged right ventricle.
Video 11-8. This parasternal long-axis view shows a dilated right ventricular outflow track with septal dyskinesia.
Video 11-9. This parasternal short-axis view shows a dilated right ventricle with septal dyskinesia and septal flattening.
Video 11-10. This apical four-chamber view shows a thrombus in transit in the right atrium and right ventricle.
Video 11-11. This apical four-chamber view shows a dilated right ventricle (RV) with diffuse hypokinesis of the RV free wall sparing the apex (McConnell’s sign).
