Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram (2D TTE) from the parasternal short axis view showing the papillary muscles

The short axis image was taken at the same level of the minor axis of the left ventricle (LV); the posteromedial (PMPM) and anterolateral papillary muscles (ALPM) can be seen. The cut through the posteromedial papillary muscle is closer to its tip than the one through the anterolateral.
