ECHO ASSESSMENT OF ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT DR JULIAN JOHNY THOTTIAN
VARIOUS ECHO MODALITIES • TTE • CONTRAST ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY • TEE • 3D ECHO • ICE
4 TYPES OSTIUM SECUNDUM- 66% OSTIUM PRIMUM- 15% SINUS VENOSUS-10%- superior and posterior part of septum DEFECTS NEAR CORONARY SINUS
WHEN TO SUSPECT IN 2D ECHO • RIGHT VENTRICULAR DILATION ABNORMAL MOTION OF IVS- brisk anterior movement in early systole or flattened movement throughout systole • ? IAS DROP OUT IN APICAL 4C VIEW • RELATIVE ATRIAL INDEX
2D ECHO RA RV VOLUME OVERLOAD SEPTAL FLATTENING IN DIASTOLE
RELATIVE ATRIAL INDEX • Standard apical 4C views- right atrial area divided by left atrial area • ROC curve analysis - cutoff value of >0.92 predicted patients with ASDs v/s matched controls with 99.1% sensitivity and 90.5% specificity. After closure, significant atrial remodeling occurred immediately, with a reduction in the mean RAI at day 1 to 0.93 ± 0.16 (P < .0001) and complete normalization at early follow-up to 0.81 ± 0.12.

SUB COSTAL 4C VIEW • To go for the subcostal 4C – Keeps the atrial septum perpendicular to the ultrasound beam • Distinguishes OS , OP & SV ASDs • SV ASD are consistently visualised in the SUBCOSTAL 4C VIEW • Measurements of the septum can be taken • Anomalous drainage of pulmonary veins • Atrialseptal aneurysm
TTE -views for ASD • PSAX-IAS separates Rt &Lt atrium and runs posteriorly from NCC of aortic valve. Not seen in entirety as a result of drop out artefact • APICAL 4C- Posterior aspect of Interatrial septum is clearly delineated in this view but drop out artefact is seen in region of fossaovalis. • Pulmonary venous drainage- 3 veins draining to LA • APICAL 5C VIEW- Anterior aspect of interatrial septum
PSAX VIEW IAS AGAINST NCC OF AORTA APICAL 4C VIEW SHOWING THE IAS AND 3 VEINS DRAINING TO LA, RT LOWER PULMONARY VEIN IS USUALLY NOT SEEN
SUB COSTAL 4C VIEW- Useful in patients with COPD and ventilated patients Viewed with breath held in inspiration- index marker in 3o` clock position. No IAS drop outs SUB COSTAL SHORT AXIS- Index marker at 12o`clock position and sweeping the transducer from midline to Rt side of patient
SUBCOSTAL 4C VIEW SUB COSTAL SHORT AXIS VIEW ALSO SHOWS IVC DRAINING TO RA AND EUSTACHIAN VALVE
Other important views • To visualise SVC- Suprasternal short axis –index marker in 4 o`clock position • L-SVC is seen from ltsupraclvicular fossa or suprasternal short axis • Suprasternal short axis to visualise the the pulmonary veins draining into left atrium • Cleft mitral valve in AVCD in 12o`clock position in PSAX
`Crab view` showing absent Rt upper and Rt lower pulmonary vein
En face view in 2D • First the apical 4c view was taken. The image index marker was at approximately kept at 1 o'clock. Keeping the atrial septum and ASD in the region of interest, the transducer was rotated counterclockwise approximately 45° to 60° Xinseng et al Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography Volume 23, Issue 7 , Pages 714-721, July 2010
Ostiumprimum ASD • Defect in lower part of IAS • Associated sometimes with inlet VSD • Cleft mitral valve • AV Valve regurgitation • Partial attachment of mitral valve to IVS

COLOUR DOPPLER • Shows the direction of the shunt • Caveat- FP results due to improper gain and caval flow streaming near septum can be misdiagnosed as ASD. • PULSED DOPPLER- demonstrates the flow from L to R in mid systole to mid diastole with second phase in atrial systole. Some R to L shunting occurs in early systole • QUANTIFICATION OF SHUNT – Qp /Qs

CONTRAST ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY • APICAL 4C VIEW IS USED • AGITATED SALINE USED- 5ml in each 10ml syringe, 0.5ml of air taken in the syringe and agitated to create microbubbles.
