The tip of the probe was fully moved anteriorly and to the left. In order to develop this view, the TOE probe was advanced deep into the stomach. As a result the velocity–time integral is displayed in units of centimetres. The contours of the spectral Doppler signals are measured by planimetry using the echocardiography system software. With Doppler data, velocity is shown in the form of a spectral display per unit time, conventionally in metres per second. ( c) Continuous-wave Doppler recording at the level of the aortic valve. IVS, interventricular septum MV, mitral valve PW, posterior wall of the LV RV, right ventricle. The left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), the AV and the ascending aorta (AA) are aligned parallel to the Doppler beam. ( b) Deep transgastric long-axis view of the left ventricle (LV) for Doppler quantification of instantaneous flow velocities across the aortic valve (AV). IAS, interatrial septum LA, left atrium RA, right atrium RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract. The length of each cusp is measured using the echocardiograph software. The cusp adjacent to the atrial septum is the non-coronary cusp (NCC), the most anterior cusp is the right coronary cusp (RCC) and the remaining cusp is the left coronary cusp (LCC). Aortic valve cusps appear as almost straight lines describing an equilateral triangle. ( a) Short-axis view during end-systole with aortic valve open and multiplane angle 38°.
