Transposition of the great arteries is marked by ventriculo-arterial discordance and occurs in 2 distinct subtypes. Echocardiography is the primary method of evaluating this condition in the adult. Key elements of the echocardiographic exam include confirming the diagnosis, evaluating ventricular size and function, assessing valvular regurgitation, identifying atrial baffle leaks or obstruction, estimating pulmonary artery pressures, and ruling out residual shunts.
大动脉转位的特征是心室-动脉不一致，可分为2种不同的亚型。超声心动图是评估成人这种疾病的主要方法。超声心动图检查的关键要素包括确诊、评估心室大小和功能、评估瓣膜反流、识别心房挡板漏血或梗阻、估计肺动脉压力以及排除残余分流。
