two-dimensional echocardiography

Two-dimensional echocardiography, also known as cross-sectional echocardiography, is referred to as two-dimensional ultrasound. The echo signals reflected from the human body form a slice image in the form of spots, also known as Brightness Mode. It is the basic inspection method that can clearly, intuitively and display the shape, spatial position and continuous relationship of the various structures of the heart in real time. Echocardiography has been widely used as a non-invasive examination of heart disease, and M-mode echocardiography can only record one-dimensional images of the heart structure and is therefore limited. Real-time tangential imaging of the heart—Two-dimensional echocardiography overcomes the limitations of M-type and is more suitable for evaluating myocardial contraction abnormalities and estimating ventricular function. When two-dimensional echocardiography is used to examine the heart, basically three planes perpendicular to each other are used, which are named as long-axis, short-axis and four-chamber. The basic section of the two-dimensional echocardiogram: 1, the left ventricular long axis section of the bone. 2. The short axis of the cusp horizontal. 3, pointed four cavity cut surface. 4, under the four-chamber cut surface. Two-dimensional echocardiography is the basis for the development of various types of echocardiography. Ultrasound contrast and transesophageal ultrasound should be based on two-dimensional echocardiography. It can display the fault structure, adjacent relationship and dynamic changes of different locations of the great vessels of the heart from two-dimensional space. It is the core examination method of cardiac ultrasound and is suitable for the examination of various types of cardiovascular diseases. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: ultrasound Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: When you check, relax and cooperate with your doctor. Normal value Cut surface (two-dimensional) echocardiography to measure the normal value of the inner diameter of the heart chamber and the large blood vessels are at the edge of both sides of the liquid dark area as the starting and ending point (excluding the width of the reflected light band between the heart wall and the blood interface), using electronic tour The ruler is measured directly on the screen, or the image is enlarged and then calculated using a common ruler. Unit mm. When measuring the long diameter of the ventricle (or atrium), one end is at the apex (or the top of the atrium) and the other end is at the midpoint of the attachment at both sides of the atrioventricular valve. When measuring the transverse diameter and the anteroposterior diameter, the longest connection line equal to the angle between the two sides of the heart wall (or the vessel wall) should be taken. In terms of phase selection, the T-wave peak of the ECG is taken at the end of the contraction. At the end of diastole, the peak of the R wave is taken. 1 left ventricular left ventricular long axis cut front and rear diameter (D) 56.98 ± 3.88, anteroposterior diameter (S) 34.31 ± 3.48, mitral horizontal anteroposterior diameter (D), male 52.1 ± 2.0, female 49.6 ± 1.6, short axis cut before and after Path (S), male 34.7±3.9, female 32.7±4.1, apical four-chamber transverse diameter (D), male 47.0±3.6, female 41.0±6.3, transverse diameter (S) male 36.5±3.7, female 32.4±5.0, The apical two-chamber long diameter (D) was 81.21±7.48, and the long diameter (S) was 56.21±9.28. 2 right ventricular left ventricular long axis cut front and rear diameter (D), male 21.2 ± 3.8, female 18.8 ± 2.2, anteroposterior diameter (S), male 21.0 ± 3.9, female 19.1 ± 4.0, apical four-cavity long diameter (D), Male 66.2±10.4, female 62.9±8.3, long diameter (S), male 50.2±9.1, female 46.1±7.5, transverse diameter (D), male 27.9±5.4, female 21.6±6.1 transverse diameter (S), male 22.0± 5.6, female 16.9 ± 5.1. 3 left atrial left heart long axis dense front and rear diameter (S), male 28.9 ± 4.3, female 28.1 ± 3.9, apical four-cavity long diameter (D), male 33.4 ± 8.8, female 32.6 ± 8.6, long diameter (S ), male 44.0 ± 9.1, female 3.0 ± 6.3, transverse diameter (D), male 5.8 ± 6.4, female 3.1 ± 5.0, transverse diameter (S), male 31.7 ± 3.6, female 30.5 ± 5.1. 4 right apex apical four-cavity long diameter (D), male 34.7 ± 5.9, female 30.6 ± 4.4, long diameter (S), male 46.4 ± 4.9, female 43.5 ± 4.7, transverse diameter (D), male 33.9 ± 5.8 Female 22.9±4.6, transverse diameter (S), male 35.8±5.7, female 31.9±6.9. 5 The aortic root anteroposterior diameter was 24.00±2.45, the aortic arch transverse diameter was 24.00±2.85, the abdominal aorta posterior diameter was 17.79±2.81, and the anterior and posterior diameter of the abdominal aorta was 17.68±1.22. 6 The pulmonary artery had a short-axis incision at the annulus, with a transverse diameter of 20.23±2.9, the widest point and a transverse diameter of 22.5±2.5. 7 The inferior anterior diameter of the inferior vena cava in the inferior vena cava was 11.34±3.94, and the anteroposterior diameter (call) was 18.75±3.92.
