Echocardiography
• Portable
• Relatively inexpensive
• Systems size decreasing, quality improving, improved resolution
• Safe
• Measures: Dimension (2D), Flow
• Easy to use
• Reproducibility
Rules of measuring
• Landmarks are base / MV annulus, Apex.
• Base disks carry bigger volume.
• Apex orientation stays the same.
• Use epicardium as guide.
• Shave paps & trabeculae specular echos.
• Walls have curves.
• Apex gets the skinniest.
“When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it: but when you cannot measure it… your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind.”
William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, lecture to the Institute of Civil Engineers, 1883
“things are not what they look like, it’s what they measure to be”
