Training activity information
Details
Generate high-quality ultrasound images and take accurate measurements to assess the right ventricle, recognising right ventricular dilatation, and estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure and right atrial pressure from the appearance of the inferior vena cava.
Considerations
- Echocardiographic features associated with abnormalities of the right ventricle, including:
- pulmonary stenosis
- tricuspid stenosis
- heart failure.
Relevant learning outcomes
