1. Pre-operative study (most complete

diagnostic study, discretion of site)

2. Pre-discharge post-op study (or 30 days

post-op, whichever first)

3. 1 year post-operative study

Further information

• Two additional webinars in March

• Online information via the CHSS

website:

• Ongoing open forum with Echo core

and Data Center

Summary

• There are no unique or novels views

• Focus on high quality, complete sweeps with

particular attention to:

– Subcostal (Left anterior oblique)

– Apical 4 chamber on inlet region and secondary

inflow

– LV outflow tracts from multiple views

• 3D when available
