- Supracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return
- Dilated right ventricle
- Small underfilled LV
- Interventricular septal flattening
- Pressure and volume loaded RV
Echocardiographic Assessment: Subcostal Ventricles
- Assess right ventricular size and function
- Assess left ventricular size and function
- Assess interventricular septal configuration
- Systolic interventricular septal flattening: Pressure loaded right ventricle in setting pulmonary hypertension
- Diastolic interventricular septal flattening: Volume loaded right ventricle in setting of increased right sided volume from anomalous pulmonary venous retur
