Implication

Methodological guide demonstrates direct transthoracic echocardiographic visualization of three major coronary arteries in adults, suggesting utility as a noninvasive diagnostic adjunct.

Key Points

To describe a step-by-step methodology for direct transthoracic echocardiographic visualization of the left anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary arteries in adult patients.
Presented standardized examination techniques and acoustic windows aligned with cardiac anatomy and standard coronary angiography projections.
Outlined specific protocols for ultrasound image optimization and the identification and avoidance of common imaging artifacts.
Direct visualization of long segments of the left anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary arteries is feasible via transthoracic echocardiography.
Transthoracic noninvasive coronary flow velocity measurements correlate with invasive hemodynamic assessments.
