- Normal right and left ventricular size and systolic function
- Normal interventricular septal configuration (indicative of estimated right ventricular systolic pressures <1/2 systemic)
- The ventricular septum appears intact without evidence of ventricular septal defects
This subcostal view is optimal for profiling ventricular size and function and can also be used to assess interventricular septal configuration.
