In the past, we have written articles on aortic stenosis and best practices for performing the continuity equation. It’s great to read blogs but it is important to apply this knowledge to our everyday practice. That is why this week we asked experienced sonograher, Jessica Hooley, ACS, RCS, to share some real life examples of aortic stenosis and mismatch values and provide us with some tips and recommendations.
We evaluate the aortic valve for pathology on every patient we scan. It’s easy to forget the basic concept of anatomy and the functions each part of the valve plays in opening & closing of the leaflets. This blog is going to be a refresher and cover the basic anatomy of the aortic valve!
In our last post we reviewed the correct techniques for the linear measurement of the LV in the parasternal long axis view. This week we will discuss the aorta and review the morphology and the correct aortic measurement techniques to perform during an echocardiogram.
