Cardiac Ultrasound - Parasternal Short Axis - SonoSite, Inc.

Go to http://www.sonosite.com/education for more videos and information about ultrasound technology.

This video details the use of bedside ultrasound imaging, specifically the parasternal short-axis view, with a phased array probe to evaluate cardiac health and anatomy, especially when looking at a patient's left ventricular contractility. This ultrasound view offers clinicians an opportunity to view the left ventricle and mitral valve in cross section and helps identify patients who may have a cardiogenic cause for their presentations.
