If you are learning Echo for the first time, I recommend starting from the beginning.
Step-by-step simple methods to estimate the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction. The topics that we will cover are the following:

Before trying to get the CO make sure you master acquiring the Parasternal Long Axis View (PLAX) and the Apical 5 Chamber (A5C) View. If you need help with this click the link below
Step-by-step simple methods to estimate the Right ventricular function. There are two ways to do that; the qualitative method (aka the eyeball method) where a normal RV is 2/3 the size of the LV or the quantitative method. The different quantitative methods of assessing the RV and pulmonary circulation that will be covered are the following:
Also known as TAM (Tricuspid Annular Motion). Click on the video to the left to learn more about how to measure the TAPSE.
Before trying to get the TAPSE make sure you master acquiring the Apical 4 Chamber View (A4C).
Click on the video to the right to learn more about how to measure the IVC collapsibility which can be used to estimate the right atrial pressure.
Click on the video to the left to learn more about how to measure the RVSP.
Make sure you take a look at the Right Atrial (RA) Pressure estimation using the IVC collapsibility as a surrogate. In someone that does not have a central venous catheter that you can measure the CVP you will have to use the IVC collapsibility for estimating the RA pressure.
