Normal (Young patient)
Normal left ventricular size and systolic function (EF 60 %). Normal diastolic function
Normal right ventricular size and systolic function
Normal valve structure and function
Normal (Elderly patient)
Normal left ventricular size and systolic function (EF 60 %)
Normal right ventricular size and systolic function
Sclerodegenerative valve disease with normal function
CAD with RWMA:
Normal left ventricular size with preserved systolic function (EF 60 %). Regional wall motion abnormalities are suggestive of coronary artery disease
Normal right ventricular size and systolic function
Sclerodegenerative valve disease with normal function
Hypertensive patient with LVH:
Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and preserved systolic function (EF 60 %)
Normal right ventricular size and systolic function
Sclerodegenerative valve disease with normal function
Dilated cardiomyopathy:
Mildly dilated left ventricle with *** reduced systolic function. Regional wall motion abnormalities are suggestive of coronary artery disease OR Mild global hypokinesis of the left ventricle
Mildly dilated right ventricle with mildly reduced systolic function
Mild secondary mitral regurgitation due to inadequate leaflet coaptation related to papillary muscle dysfunction and dilated mitral annulus
Grade II diastolic dysfunction with elevated left atrial filling pressure
Biatrial enlargement
Elevated right ventricular systolic pressure suggestive of *** pulmonary hypertension

– Sclerodegenerative valve disease with mild mitral regurgitation
– Sclerodegenerative valve disease with mild aortic stenosis
– Sclerodegenerative valve disease with trivial aortic regurgitation
– Mild tricuspid regurgitation with mild pulmonary hypertension
– Mildly dilated right ventricle with normal systolic function
– Severely calcified aortic valve with *** aortic stenosis (AVA *** cm2, mean gradient *** mmHg, dimensionless index ***)
– Inadequate tricuspid leaflet coaptation resulting in *** tricuspid regurgitation
– Well-seated bioprosthetic/mechanical valve in the *** position with normal function
– Mildly dilated ascending aorta
Commonly Used Summary Statements:
– Indeterminate diastolic function
– Mild mitral annular calcification
– Inadequate tricuspid regurgitation jet to estimate right ventricular systolic pressure.
– Right ventricular systolic pressure could be underestimated
– Diastolic dysfunction is likely present, however, the grade cannot be determined due to atrial fibrillation/ significant mitral annular calcification/ significant mitral regurgitation.
– Focal basal inferior wall motion abnormality of unclear clinical significance
– Elevated pulmonary artery end-diastolic pressure suggestive of elevated left atrial pressure
– No evidence of inter-atrial shunt on agitated saline study
