ANATOMY: Anatomic basis of cross-sectional echocardiography

Anatomic basis of cross-sectional echocardiography.

Anatomical basis of cross sectional echocardiography.

Ten hearts were cut in planes to simulate echocardiographic cuts which may be taken to visualise the anatomy of the cardiac chambers and great arteries. The various myocardial wall segments were named from these sections by referring to their position in the reconstituted heart. The sections were studied in their correct anatomical position. In this way they provide a reference for appropriate ...

Evaluation of left coronary artery anatomy in vitro by cross-sectional echocardiography.

This study was undertaken to provide a better anatomic description of the location and course of the left coronary artery within a commonly used ultrasonic tomographic plane. Twenty-three hearts were excised at autopsy and scanned in vitro. The locations of the left main (LMCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and left circumflex (LCCA) coronary arteries were confirmed by direct cannulation, by...

Endomyocardial biopsy guided by cross-sectional echocardiography.

The usefulness of cross-sectional echocardiography during endomyocardial biopsy was examined in 10 consecutive patients with myocardial disease of undetermined origin. Twenty-eight endomyocardial biopsies were obtained from the left ventricle and 34 from the right ventricle. Echocardiography was performed simultaneously with monitoring of the biopsy procedure by means of fluoroscopy, pressure m...
