Learn Echocardiography | Standard Protocol for Performing Comprehensive Echocardiogram | Explained with Images and Videos

If you are just starting to learn echocardiography, you will find that learning the full echo examination protocol will be immensely useful. The full protocol will provide a solid foundation for your career in echo. I personally found that once I could execute the standard protocol flawlessly, I was able to add and refine additional echo scanning skills while deepening my understanding of the purpose of each echo image. The echo protocol illustrated in this article is the same one we currently use for all our patients in the hospital and meets or exceeds the standards of American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) for an adult echocardiography examination. The protocol presented here is meant as a guideline and does not cover every aspect (such as off axis views) of an echo examination. Also other hospitals will probably have slight variations of this protocol depending on the lab's needs, which is normal. This article's main purpose is to provide a solid foundation for

Localisation of Infarct by ECG

Here is the simple algorithm to localize location of myocardial infarction by using surface ECG.

Pulmonary Vein Doppler Patterns on Echocardiography

Exploring Pulmonary Vein Doppler Patterns and Their Differential Diagnosis Introduction: Pulmonary vein Doppler patterns play a crucial role in cardiovascular diagnostics, providing valuable insights into the hemodynamics of the heart. By analyzing the blood flow within the pulmonary veins, healthcare professionals can identify various conditions and make informed decisions about patient care. In this article, we will delve into the significance of pulmonary vein Doppler patterns and explore the differential diagnoses associated with different waveforms. Understanding Pulmonary Vein Doppler Patterns: Pulmonary vein Doppler patterns are typically assessed using echocardiography, a non-invasive imaging technique. This method enables the visualization and measurement of blood flow velocity in the pulmonary veins, offering key information about cardiac function. The two main components of pulmonary vein Doppler analysis are the systolic and diastolic phases, each providing unique insigh
