Table 1 Criteria developed to consistently and repeatably identify AVP on right parasternal long and short axis cineloops of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and aortic valve (AoV)
From: Reliability and Identification of Aortic Valve Prolapse in the Horse
A) RIGHT-SIDED PARASTERNAL LONG-AXIS VIEW OF THE LVOT AND AOV | B) RIGHT-SIDED PARASTERNAL SHORT-AXIS VIEW OF THE AOV |

· Image obtained from RICS4 | · Images obtained from the RICS4 |
· IVS perpendicular to the ultrasound beam | · AoV centred in the middle of the image with all three cusps visible |
· Walls of the Ao parallel | · TV in the near field of the image |
· Two AoV cusps visible | · PV in the far field of the image |
