    This document provides instructions for obtaining the apical two-chamber view of the heart using echocardiography. It states that the patient should lie on their left side with their left arm raised and back elevated. The probe is placed over the apex beat and oriented about 60 degrees counterclockwise from the four-chamber view to visualize the left ventricle, mitral valve, and left atrium. References for further reading on echocardiography techniques are also provided.
