A
- right parasternal long axis view
- right parasternal short axis view (mushroom, fish mouth and aortic views)
3

What is normal left ventricular wall thickness?

Normal = 3-5mm
Severe = 7-10mm
4
Q
What is the normal ratio for left ventricle to left atrium diameters?
A
Should be 1:1
LA should never be wider than LV
