maintenance of these skills requires physicians to perform and/or interpret a minimum of 500 transthoracic echocardiograms annually. In addition, it is essential that Level 3 physicians maintain their skills by performing transthoracic examinations. This can be done by periodically assisting the sonographe...
The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed complete atrioventricular block with a ventricular beat of 40/min (Fig. 1). Chest X-ray found a cardiomegaly with a double density sign consistent with left atrial enlargement. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed inversion of the position of the 2 ventricles,...

The cardiologist performed preoperative and postoperative two-dimensional echocardiograms within 1 month prior to surgical intervention, at discharge after surgery, and at 3 months or later after surgery. The tricuspid valve function was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, usually under the top four...
Earlier work comparing RV volume measurement by both transthoracic and transesophageal 3D techniques have demonstrated excellent correlations between the 3D echo measurements of RV volume and function compared to both CMR and radionuclide ventriculography [24]. However, this patient population was more het...
Echocardiogram For transthoracic echocardiography, mice were anaesthetized using 2% isoflurane in 95% O2. Body temperature was maintained on a heated platform, and electrocardiogram and temperature were continuously monitored. Cardiac function was assessed using a VisualSonics VeVo 770 Imaging System (VisualSo...
Blood cultures were also negative and a transthoracic echocardiogram was negative for evidence of vegetation to suggest endocarditis. Various viral titers including herpes simplex virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) were negative, as were ...
A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed moderately reduced left ventricular ejection fraction with global hypokinesis. During emergent coronary angiography, the left main coronary artery could not be found. The right coronary artery was normal with robust collaterals to the entire left coronary circulation ...

The British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) has recently published an updated minimum dataset for a standard adult transthoracic echocardiogram (3) (Supplemental Appendix). This cardio-oncology guideline is designed to be used in conjunction with the minimum dataset and provides guidance on transthorac...
