How & when to measure 2D PLAX (d)
end-diastole (QRS onset)
right after MV closes
biggest LV size
at MV leaflet tips
IVSd
LVIDd
LVPWd

How & when to measure 2D PLAX (s)
end-systole (~T wave)
right after AoV closes
smallest LV size
at MV leaflet tips
LVIDs

How & when to measure Zoomed AV
mid-systole (right when AV opens)
inner edge to inner edge
LVOT
should be taken 5-10 mm proximal to the annulus
Aortic Annulus

How & when to measure Zoomed Ao Root
end-diastole (QRS onset)
right before AV opens
leading edge to leading edge (outer to inner)
Aortic Sinus/Sinus of Valsalva
STJ
Ascending Aorta*

How & when to measure Asc Ao
end-diastole (QRS onset)
right before AV opens
leading edge to leading edge (outer to inner)
Ascending Aorta

How & when to measure IVC
inner edge to inner edge
~1-2 cm proximal to IVC/RA junction
measured when IVC is at its maximum dimension

TAPSE value
> 1.7 cm
otherwise systolic dysfunction

M-Mode vs 2D for ASE
Per ASE Guidelines, NO PLAX M-mode measurements should be taken due to likelihood of error
2D = Measurements must be perpendicular to chamber walls
Normal IVC size
< 2.1 cm
