Additional image acquisition.

View and modality Explanatory note Image
PSAX AV level (2D) (1) Identify coronary ostia. The left and right ostia usually originate from their respective aortic sinuses graphic file with name erp-5-G1-inf1.jpg
(2) Ensure origin is at sinus level
(3) Identify proximal courses and exclude aberrant vessel, especially malignant course between great vessels (aorta and pulmonary artery) (33)
PSAX BASAL LV level (2D) LV wall thicknesses should be measured from the maximum dimension at end diastole from: graphic file with name erp-5-G1-inf2.jpg
(1) Anterior septum
(2) Inferior septum
(3) Posterior/Inferolateral wall
(4) Lateral/Anterolateral wall
PSAX MID LV level (2D) LV wall thicknesses should be measured from the maximum dimension at end diastole from: graphic file with name erp-5-G1-inf3.jpg
(1) Anterior septum
(2) Inferior septum
(3) Posterior/Inferolateral wall
(4) Lateral/Anterolateral wall
PSAX MID to apical level (2D) (1) Excess LV trabeculations is a common finding in athletes (34) graphic file with name erp-5-G1-inf4.jpg
(2) LV hypertrabeculation is more prevalent in black athletes
(3) Red-flags – thinned compacted layer <5 mm and regional wall motion abnormality in the region of excess trabeculation. Further imaging is advised to exclude Left Ventricular Non-Compaction (LVNC) Cardiomyopathy
