- Normal left atrial size
- Normal mitral valve excursion
- Normal left ventricular size and systolic function
The apical two chamber view is a good view to assess left atrial size and left ventricular systolic function.
- 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
- Left atrial dilation
- Left ventricular dilation
- Left ventricular dysfunction
