E. Apical Views, Evaluation of the Left Atrium – 心尖图
![Figure 37. Transducer position, apical 4-chamber view](https://echobyweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/TransPos_ap4c.jpg)
2D video clip. Apical 4-chamber view, optimized for left atrial visualization (priority should be given to obtaining a maximal left atrial long axis).
Position markers, visualization of:
1. Maximum left atrial longitudinal axis;
2. Maximum left atrial transverse axis;
3. Maximum diastolic excursion of the mitral leaflets

2D still frame. 4-chamber view, centered on the left atrium. Measurement: left atrial planimetry to obtain the biplane volume (see below the 2-chamber view). See Normal values here.

![Figure 39. Transducer position, apical 2-chamber view](https://echobyweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/TransPos_ap2c.jpg)
2D video clip. 2-chamber view, optimized for left atrial visualization (priority for left atrial long axis visualization).
Position markers, visualization of:
1. Maximum left atrial longitudinal axis;
2. Maximum diastolic excursion of the mitral leaflets
3. Short axis of coronary sinus (inferior);
4. Left atrial appendage (anterior).
