@drmarkexercise: Let’s learn about the heart! PSAX (Parasternal Short Axis View) In the PSAX view, you can image at 3 different levels based on how you tilt the ultrasound probe. Level 1. Papillary Muscle (PM) Level: We call this The “donut” view because it resembles a donut. Here you can see: PM (Papillary Muscle) LV (Left Ventricle) RV (Right Ventricle) 1 Septum separating Ventricle from Ventricle. IVS (Interventricular Septum) The papillary muscle view is essential for evaluating contractility of the left ventricle #echocardiography #cardiacsonographer #ultrasoundstudent #heart #fyp
