- Pulmonary Stenosis
- Bowing of interventricular septum into the left ventricle in systole consistent with systemic to suprasystemic RV pressures in patient with pulmonary valve stenosis
- Mild RVH
- Normal biventricular systolic function
- Echocardiographic Assessment: Parasternal Short Axis (Ventricles)
- Evaluate for RVH/LVH
- Evaluate RV and LV systolic function
- Evaluate interventricular septal configuration (systolic flattening = pressure loaded RV)
- Bowing or pancaking of septum into LV in systole consistent with systemic to suprasystemic PA pressures
- Transducer at left sternal border
- Notch pointed towards patient's left shoulder
- Probe angled inferiorly (tail up)
