• Cor Triatriatum Sinister
    • Left atrial membrane visualized in mid portion of the left atrium

Echocardiographic Asssessment: Apical 2 Chamber

  • Assess for presence of left atrial membrane and membrane morphology (location, size, single opening/fenestrated by 2D and color Doppler)
  • Assess mean gradient across the membrane (pulse and continuous wave spectral Doppler)
  • Left atrial size
  • Mitral valve (stenosis, regurgitation by 2D, color and spectral Doppler)
  • Pulmonary venous return into chamber above membrane (2D and spectral Doppler)
  • Left atrial size

  • Modified apical four chamber view
  • From four chamber view rotate probe counter clockwise 
  • Indicator at 1 o'clock
  • Transducer at mid clavicular line 
  • 4th or 5th intercostal space
