While we're in the parasternal short axis, let's take a look a few other images. Here is the zoomed view of the aortic valve. The aortic valve looks to be trileaflet; however, it is very thickened ...

The heart should be visualized in a horizontal orientation, showing the aortic and mitral valves but not the left ventricular apex. To obtain an image in the parasternal short-axis view ...

A parasternal short-axis view of the aortic root (Panel C) shows a tricuspid aortic valve (AV) and thickening of the aortic-root walls (arrows). An apical five-chamber view (Panel D) shows a very ...

Long-axis parasternal view, revealing the intensity of calcification and doming of the aortic cusps in systole. Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter may be measured for valve area ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was evaluated. Design Longitudinal cohort study. A group of ...
