Echocardiography Basics: Physics, Modes, and Applications
An introduction to ultrasound physics, imaging modes, Doppler techniques, and their clinical applications, for learners starting echocardiography.
TutorialLeft Ventricular Systolic Function: Comprehensive Assessment
M-mode, 2D, Doppler, and strain parameters for assessing LV systolic function, cross-checked against Otto's textbook and the EACVI Echo Handbook.
TutorialLeft Ventricular Ejection Fraction: Measurement Methods
Visual estimation, Simpson's biplane, Teichholz, and 3D methods for measuring left ventricular ejection fraction, and where each can mislead.
TutorialLeft Ventricular Diastolic Function: Evaluation and Grading
Current 2016 ASE/EACVI algorithms for assessing LV diastolic function and filling pressures, and how they differ from older E/A-based teaching.
TutorialEvaluation of the Right Ventricle Using Echocardiography
RV size, systolic/diastolic function, RV-PA coupling, and full noninvasive hemodynamic estimation, per the 2025 ASE right heart/PAH guideline.
TutorialEvaluation of the Left Atrium (LA) Using Echocardiography

TutorialEvaluation of the Right Atrium Using Echocardiography
RA size, phasic function, and strain, cross-checked against the 2025 ASE right heart guideline, 2020 BSE guideline, and the EACVI Textbook.
TutorialPediatric Transthoracic Echocardiography
What makes pediatric TTE different from adult echo: the segmental approach, Z-scores instead of fixed norms, display conventions, and standard views.
TutorialTransthoracic Echocardiography: Views & Tips for Optimal Imaging
The standard TTE imaging windows and views, transducer marker orientation, and practical tips for optimal image quality in adults.
