Echocardiography Imaging Windows - The Apical 2 Chamber View

You can easily obtain an apical 2 chamber view from an apical 4 chamber view. The marker of the probe is rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees. To get a better image you can aim towards the left arm pit of the patient. This view helps you to assess the inferior and anterior wall of the Left Ventricle. The anterior wall of the left ventricle is seen on the right of the screen and inferior wall on the left of the screen. The severity of mitral valve lesions are better assessed in this view.
