Interatrial Septum Assessment Part 2: Sinus Venosus Defects

Open Access
|Jan 2026

Abstract

This 11-minute video aims at improving skills for the structural assessment of sinus venosus defects using 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to increase the ability to diagnose—or rule out—the different types of interatrial communications. Of the five types of lesions, this video focuses on superior and inferior sinus venosus defects. This is the second video in our MicroLearning Video Series, designed to help a target audience of sonographers, general cardiologists, general practitioners who want to gain knowledge on fundamental cardiology, and technicians.
