ME LAX: The ME LAX view allows visualization of the left atrium (LA), left ventricle (LV), left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), aortic valve, mitral valve (P2-A2), and proximal ascending aorta. It is particularly useful for assessing regional left ventricular function in the inferolateral and anteroseptal walls, and the function of the mitral and aortic valves. It also provides appropriate visualization of membranous ventricular septal defects (VSD), and ascending aortopathy.
ME AV SAX: The ME AV SAX view provides a tri-leaflet view of the aortic valve, with the left, noncoronary, and right cusps visible in the posterior, right, and anterior parts of the ultrasound screen, respectively. This view also includes the right atrium, left atrium, superior interatrial septum, right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), and pulmonary valves. It allows imaging of patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial septal defects (ASD), as well as assessment of aortic and pulmonary valve function.
