Echocardiography LITFL ECHO

Echo basics: Aortic Valve

Echo basics: Aortic Valve. A normal aortic valve is trileaflet, with equally sized cusps that are supported by a fibrous annulus and separated by three commissures.

Echocardiography LITFL ECHO

Echo basics: Mitral Regurgitation

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common pathology detected during echocardiography. Accurate identification and grading rely heavily on colour and spectral Doppler imaging across multiple standard views.

Echo basics: Mitral Valve

The mitral valve is a dominant structure in most standard echocardiographic views. Understanding its anatomy in each window is essential for accurate assessment.
