What is the standard view of cardiac ultrasound?

The standard views of cardiac ultrasound generally include parasternal left ventricular long-axis view, apical five-chamber view, subxiphoid four-chamber view, etc. The relevant explanations are as follows:

1. parasternal left ventricular long-axis

view can observe the long axis direction of the heart, showing the structure of the left ventricle and aortic root, and is used to evaluate the size, shape and function of the left ventricle.

2. apical five-chamber

view can observe the five chambers of the heart, including the left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium and aortic root, and can display the atrioventricular valve and atrial wall structure.

3. subxiphoid four-chamber

view can observe the four chambers of the heart, showing the shape and size of the atrium and ventricle.
