Point of care ultrasound evaluation of cardio-cerebral coupling

Figure 6 Assessment of cardio-cerebral coupling through ultrasound. A: Transcranial Doppler spectrum real measurements; B: Mitral annulus plane systolic excursion measurements; C: E point septal separation; D: Ejection fraction by biplane Simpson’s method; E: Left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral measurement; F: Transmitral Doppler. Left: Normal biphasic morphology, showing distinct E and A waves. Right: Normal triphasic morphology, with the addition of an L wave observed between the E and A waves. LVOT VTI: Left ventricular outflow tract velocity time.
