This view obtained from the parasternal short axis view, profiles the left ventricular apex.
- Transducer placed at left sternal border
- Notch pointed towards patient's left shoulder
- Probe tilted very inferiorly (tail up)
- Apical ventricular dysfunction
- Left ventricular apical trabeculations (left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy)
- Apical muscular VSD
