I have purchased the SDEP Echo and I am practicing the echo positions. I am getting confused with the apical view. When Dr Erric shows the apical view technique, the MV appears on the left side of the screen. The book shows tricuspid valve on the left side of the screen and also one of the videos of Dr Peter shows tricuspid valve on the left side of the screen in the apical view. I have also used the technique described by Dr Peter and it also showed tricuspid valve on the left side of the screen. It is confusing me. I am attaching images from Dr Erric’s, Dr Peter’s and from the book with this post

Thanks Dr Erric for the reply. Your SDEP echo videos are really amazing and a great help. By how you hold the probe, do u mean the probe marker direction?
I was holding the probe the way you explained in the video, but for me the TCV was appearing on the left side of the screen
