- The aortic valve leaflets appear thin with normal excursion
- Normal tricommissural aortic valve
- The tricuspid valve leaflets appear thin with normal excursion
- The pulmonary valve leaflets appear thin with normal excursion
- Atrial septum appears intact
- The right ventricular outflow tract appears of good caliber
- No aortic regurgitation
- Normal laminar flow across tricuspid valve
- Trivial tricuspid regurgitation (narrow blue jet at site of tricuspid valve annulus)
- Normal laminar flow across the right ventricular outflow tract
The parasternal short axis view is a good view to assess the aortic valve arcitecture, tricuspid valve, right ventricular outflow tract and the atrial septum.
