Normal Cardiac Anatomy - Apical 5 Chamber - Normal
Caption
In this view we are able to visualize all four chambers of the heart. Clockwise from the top left of the screen we see the right ventricle, left ventricle, left atrium, and right atrium. We can also see the tricuspid valve between the RA and RV and the mitral valve between the LA and LV. The “fifth chamber” is the aortic valve/root which can be appreciated in the center of the image.
