Echo From Scratch | Post #16 Parasternal Long-Axis View: Your First Major Window The parasternal long-axis view, or PLAX, is one of the foundational views in transthoracic echocardiography. The patient is generally positioned in the left lateral decubitus position, with the transducer placed near the left sternal border, usually around the 3rd or 4th intercostal space. The goal is to obtain a plane that displays the LV long axis and the aortic and mitral valves. A good PLAX view typically shows: 🫱Right ventricular outflow tract 🫱Left ventricle 🫱Left atrium 🫱LV outflow tract 🫱Aortic valve 🫱Aortic root and prox ascending aorta 🫱Mitral valve The standard PLAX plane provides an important anatomical relationship between the aortic and mitral valves.
