As always we will first look at the hand movements:
1.Slide laterally – following the rib space
2.Rock probe tail laterally

As I was taught – forget about palpating the apex beat – big movements until you see the heart and then small movements to get the best on axis image
Remember on axis is:
1. Apex of LV forming apex of image
2. Septum is vertical and central
3. Both Valves opening

LV assessment

8/9 RV assessment (isolated RV view for teaching purposes):
RV size should be no more than 2/3 size of LV Function requires looking at both:
1.TAPSE
2.RV Free wall motion

9/9.
TAPSE
1. Get best view of RV
2. Cursor placed through TV lateral annulus
3. Press M- Mode ->measure distance of systolic annular RV excursion along this line (See below)
