ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY 2D and M MODE IMAGING

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY 2D and M MODE IMAGING

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY 2D and M MODE IMAGING - Two-dimensional echo or B mode allow us to demonstrate the spatial relationship of structure for more accurate anatomic diagnosis of abnormalities of the heart and great vessels. It provides the tomographic images of the heart.

It displays the return echoes as dots of varying brightness

The brightness of the dot represents the strength of the return echo

It provides the tomographic images of the heart by directing the transducer in various planes. Indications for 2 D echo are increasing with their increasing diagnostic accuracy. Some of these are to screen newborns and small infants who appear to have cardiac defects, to rule out cyanotic congenital heart disease in newborns with clinical findings of PPHN and persistent fetal circulation syndrome, to diagnose PDA or other heart defects or ventricular dysfunction in a premature infant who is on a ventilator for pulmonary disease, To confirm the diagnosis in infants and children with atypical findings of certain defects.

M Mode is used in the instance when documentation of the movement of the reflector is needed, such as looking at the motion of a heart valve or myocardial wall thickness during systole and diastole

M mode is often used in obstetrics and cardiac applications. With m mode imaging the motion of reflectors along a single scan line is analyzed, The m mode tracing is one scan line represented over time with depth along the y-axis and time along the x-axis

This is sometimes referred to as ice-pick imaging because of the very narrow field of view.M mode echo helpful in the detection of pericardial fluid, left ventricular systolic function, Study of the motion of the cardiac valve, for example, M V P, mitral stenosis and dimension of cardiac chambers and vessels, the thickness of interventricular septum and free walls


Example of m mode in echocardiogram m mode at the 

aortic valve level

M mode at aortic valve

mitral level

M mode at mitral valve

at the left ventricle

PERICARDITIS ECG CHANGES - HEART AND TECHY

Image
  PERICARDITIS ECG CHANGES-HEART AND TECHY P ericarditis  is the  inflammation  of pericardium. Pericarditis Acute pericarditis is  caused  by  infective , autoimmune,neoplastic,  radiation injury  or  metabolic causes. Virus Viral infection  is the most common  cause  of pericarditis.Pericarditis in  acute myocardial infarction  is  due  to local pericardial inflammation. Main   ecg   changes  in pericardial effusion are PR  segment depression  and ST segment  elevation virus ST segment elevation is occur  due   to change  in  epicardium,this  exerts a  pressure  in our  heart  which will  result in   decreasing  contractility,decrease filling and  decrease   cardiac output. Our  heart  consist of  3  layers, epicardium myocardium and  endocardium,epicardium  is the layer which is very close to pericardium,so  changes  which occur in  epicardium  in pericarditis will also a ffect   pericardium layers of the heart Majority  of perfusion occur in our  heart  during diastole.C hanges  in

RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION ASSESSMENT IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY-RIGHT VENTRICULAR SERIES PART-2

 RIGHT VENTRICULAR SERIES PART-2  RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION ASSESSMENT Why should we  measure   Right Ventricular   function  in the  echo? The right ventricle  has its  unique function  In our  first   part of  Right Ventricular series(RV SERIES) we  discussed  how to quantify  Right Ventricular size  in  echo Before going  to the lecture  we have  to know  there is some  limitation  for assessing Right Ventricle in  echo  because of the  crescentic shape , we had already  discussed  this in our  first   part of  RV series. Right ventricular function is mainly assessed by  5   methods: Tricuspid  annular plane   systolic excursion fractional area  change tei index s   prime visual  estimation  of RV  free wall  tricuspid  annular motion TAPSE   TAPSE is  measured  from Right Ventricle m mode. In  apical  four-chamber view m mode cursor  placed  on the  junction  of  tricuspid valve plane  with the RV  free wall.  Tapse is the  difference  in displacement during  diastole  and  systol

HEART AND TECHY-RIGHT VENTRICULAR SIZE AND FUNCTION ASSESSMENT ECHO-PART 1

Image
RIGHT VENTRICLE SIZE AND FUNCTION IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY The right  ventricle   is a  complex   three-dimensional shape.  Echocardiographic assessment of the  right ventricle  is  more   difficult  than that of left ventricle because of the  complex geometry  and is  divided   into two   parts : the inflow tract and the outflow tract,  separated  by the crista supraventricular. Echocardiographic  imaging of  RV  function and  measurement  of ejection fraction has been  difficult  because of the  complex form  and  motion pattern  of the  RV  and  problems  with defining the  endocardial surface  of the  thin  RV  free wall.  Another important factor that complicates the interpretation of RV  function  is the varying  loading conditions.  In daily cardiology practice, RV function has traditionally been  evaluated  qualitatively by  2D  echocardiography. QUALITATIVE PARAMETERS TO ASSESS THE RV SIZE IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY: A standard apical four-chamber is best to assess RV size compared with t
