ENTITIES Normal function Aortic stenosis-senile Aortic stenosis-bicuspid Aortic regurgitation Mitral stenosis Mitral prolapse Mitral flail Mitral regurgitation Valvular infection Prosthetic valves Cardiomyopathy Ischemia-anterior Ischemia-inferior Ischemia-aneurysm Post-infarct VSD IHSS Pericardial effusion Masses		Bicuspid aortic valve		Notes: The bicuspid aortic valve shows a "doming" configuration in the long axis view when it opens during systole. In the short axis view, the openning of the two leaflets creates a "fish-mouth" (oval) appearance. The short axis view in some cases may appear almost normal because of a fused raphe in the middle of one of the two leaflets.
