Technique: see Cardiac ultrasound
Pericardial Effusion
Parasternal long
Change in size <30% between sys and dia = poor LV function
RV collapse
In 4-chamber view, RV should be <60% of LV; if larger think RV failure
Hyperdynamicity
Walls move >90% or touch at end of systole
May indicate hypovolemia or sepsis
