False overriding of aorta may be produced on m-mode echo by? - ANSWER-
Positioning transducer too high in intercostal space.
What's the most common cause of mitral stenosis ? - ANSWER- Rheumatic disease
atrial fibrillation is most commonly caused by? - ANSWER- Rheumatic mitral stenosis
Doppler measures a pressure drop (gradient) by the Bernoulli equation. This equation
usually measures the _________ gradient across the valve. - ANSWER- Peak
instantaneous
When a patient has a clinical diagnosis of pericarditis: - ANSWER- Pericardial effusion
may not present on echo
In normal patients, most ventricular filling occurs: - ANSWER- With atrial contraction
,The patient you're examining has clear cut auscultatory and angiographic evidence of or
mitral prolapse, yet the resting echocardiogram is normal. You should then do what? -
ANSWER- Echo the patient in the standing position
When does Tricuspid valve closure normally occurs? - ANSWER- Less than .06
seconds after mitral valve closure
What is Kawasaki's disease? - ANSWER- A condition that causes inflammation in the
walls of some blood vessels
What can Kawasaki's disease lead to ? - ANSWER- Coronary artery disease
A 2D echo shows increased wall thickness of ventricular walls but normal left ventricular
size. The myocardium has a speckled appearance, what type of myopathy might be
present? - ANSWER- Infiltrative
What is infiltrative myopathy? - ANSWER- Cardiac disease characterized by deposition
of abnormal substances within heart tissue that causes ventricular walls to develop
diastolic dysfunction.
What is congestive myopathy? - ANSWER- AKA dilated cardiomyopathy. It's when the
heart becomes stretched and weakened and unable to pump effectively
,What is ischemic myopathy? - ANSWER- Occurs when heart muscle seems weakened.
Can result from coronary artery disease
What is hypertrophic obstructive myopathy? - ANSWER- Thickening of ventricular walls.
* could affect mitral valve and cause regurgitation.
* when muscles don't block blood flow but are thickened it's call "non-obstructive
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy"
Which 2D views are best to image a discrete subaortic membrane? - ANSWER- Apical
5 chamber
Apical long axis
What is discrete subaortic membrane? - ANSWER- Leading cause of discrete subaortic
stenosis which obstructs the left ventricular outflow track
What is ostium secundum atrial septal defect? - ANSWER- It's an abnormally large
opening in the atrial septum at the site of the foramen ovale
What is ostium premum? - ANSWER- AKA endocardial cushion defect. It's a defect in
the atrial septum at the level of the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve. Affects portion
where the atrial septum meets ventricular septum.
* this is the most common congenital heart defect associated with Down syndrome.
, Premature opening of the pulmonary valve may be seen in ? - ANSWER- Constrictive
pericarditis
What is constrictive pericarditis? - ANSWER- Long-term or chronic inflammation of
pericardium
Cavitation is - ANSWER- The creation or vibration of small gas filled bodies by the
ultrasound beam. (Tends to occur only with higher-intensity exposures.
What tricuspid valve leaflets are noted in PLAX? - ANSWER- Anterior and medial/septal
posterior.
Formula for calculating EF? - ANSWER- EF% = (sv/edv) x 100%
Stroke Volume (SV) formula - ANSWER- EDV - ESV
What is stroke volume (SV)? - ANSWER- Amount of blood pumped out of each ventricle
during a single heart beat.
What is the chiari network? - ANSWER- Network of fibers originating from eustachian
valve.
