Overview
Echocardiography and Doppler examination acts as the main diagnostic tool in transposition of great artyeries. It shows the pulmonary arteries arising from the posterior left ventricle, and the aorta rising anteriorly from the right ventricle. It also detects other associated anomalies like ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus and the coronary artery anatomy
