[Verse 1]
When a newborn's heart needs scanning
Echo is our guiding light
Single vessel overriding
Makes the VSD so bright
Primary tool for diagnosis
Shows us what we need to see
Truncus arteriosus calling
Echo sets the pathway free
[Chorus]
Echo tells the story clear
PA branches, valve, and more
Count the leaflets, check for leak
Measure what we're looking for
Nakata index, Z-scores too
Gradients across the valve
Serial tracking guides us through
Every puzzle we must solve
[Verse 2]
Truncal valve morphology
How many leaflets can you count
Regurgitation severity
Every detail paramount
Map the PA branch origins
Measure sizes left and right
Associated anomalies
ASD brings into sight
[Chorus]
Echo tells the story clear
PA branches, valve, and more
Count the leaflets, check for leak
Measure what we're looking for
Nakata index, Z-scores too
Gradients across the valve
Serial tracking guides us through
Every puzzle we must solve
[Bridge]
Aortic arch sidedness matters
Interruption we must find
Ventricular function status
Keep these measurements in mind
VSD and residual shunts
EF percentage tracking strong
Every echo tells a story
Helps us get the treatment right
[Verse 3]
Serial measurements are golden
PA diameters we track
Z-scores paint the bigger picture
Never let our guard go slack
Truncal valve gradient rising
Regurgitation getting worse
Echo guides our clinical judgment
Through each monitoring course
[Chorus]
Echo tells the story clear
PA branches, valve, and more
Count the leaflets, check for leak
Measure what we're looking for
Nakata index, Z-scores too
Gradients across the valve
Serial tracking guides us through
Every puzzle we must solve
[Outro]
Echo is our trusted ally
In truncus arteriosus care
Every scan reveals the answers
Hidden in the chambers there
