You can calculate EF by Teichholz method (using just diameters) but this only can be used if you don't have any regional wall motion abnormality (you would underestimate)... In that case is more recommended to estimate EF by Simpsons method (based on volumes and I have a video in this channel about it)... But the most accurate one is 3D
Ok I'm confused. We were taught in school that the end diastole is when the mitral value is at it's widest opening. Please explain. Also I remember that the ekg can be used as a guide. Do you know at what place along the ekg indicates end diastole.
There is a different ways of teaching, some structures that you can use as guide. End of diastole is at the beggining of the QRS. You can also use the LV when its bigger. Using the MV for me its tricky because the MV can be open for a while...
we like your explanations and videos;) all of them high quality and very well measurements.. Waiting for new videos.. For example, sistolic and diastolic disfunctions;)
My left atrium is 40 mm. My cardiologist says it fine but internet tells me 39 mm is the max for women. Should I worry? My echocardiogram was 6 months after pregnancy. Can this be a cause?
It's totally normal, with pregnancy the heart chambers get bigger to accommodate more blood... If your doctor told you if fine so just don't start to look up for things online 🤪
Hope you’re having a good day. What would be your suggestion for a left ventricle where the basil septum is bulging say at 1.5 cm but the rest of the septum is at 0.9cm . Where would you measure IVS ?
Hello! Some people avoid the bulge and measure the septum a bit higher! And some people measure the bulge. Either way, you always have to report that the LV is normal size with a basal septal bulge seen.
Very good question. Avoid the bulge...measure higher from it. However you may show the thickness of it by using calipers as opposed to incorporating it into the measurement package.
@@glory1719 yes, and upon further thought, WE want to rule out LVOT obstruction. When that basel septum starts getting above 1.5 cm the LVOT VTI is even more important.
Your videos are better than any textbook!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video, congrats! ❤️ By what method can we calculare EF using LV diameters? And how it function this method?

@the_echo_lady thank you
You measured to the papillary muscles not to the posterior wall !
I think I excluded it but thank you for your feedback
@@the_echo_ladyit was measured correctly!
we like your explanations and videos;) all of them high quality and very well measurements.. Waiting for new videos.. For example, sistolic and diastolic disfunctions;)
Thank you! Great idea...
Pronunciation is very good
Thank you
Great video love you ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Short axis view papillary muscles level la how to differentiate to paradoxical septal motion and LBBB Video poduga mam ...
There is nothing to differentiate here... LBBB sometimes is the reason to have a paradoxical septal motion.
Plz explain septum measurement sometimes there are papillary muscles
Ok
Thank you

Very nice
Thank you very much

@@madmax6654 yes good point. I'm happy that we are all here with "The Echo lady"
Can you plz tell me that if someone has lvidd 39.4 mm and lvids 24.4mm is it normal? Plz reply
Hello, those look like normal diameters
...
My echocardiogram was 2 month old and has lvdd is 53.3 my age is 27 year is it normal?
All the measurements needs to be corrected by BSA. Ask your cardiologist
Do you have video in pediatric echo
Hello, I just have one in my channel about the "Crab view"... However I don't have any other videos as I don't do pediatric echo
Nice video 😊 upload more
Thank you
How do we get the size after measuring at the end of diastole and systole
Sorry I didn't understand this question. At end of diastole you get the diastolic size and at end of systole you get the systolic size.
Good explanation
❤️❤️❤️
You measured wrong. It was chorda of mitral valve not the posterior wall
🙄
Yes it was compeletely wrong 😮😮😮😮😊
