questions and answers Graded A+/LATEST!!
Coarctation of the aorta is associated with?
bicuspid aortic valve
Patients with lupus will sometimes get what type of endocarditis?
Libman-Sachs endocarditis
Prosthetic cardiac valves are classified as:
mechanical and bioprosthetic
How do you assess the right atrial pressure based on the size and collapsibility of
the inferior vena cava (IVC)?
3mmHg= normal IVC (<2cm) & (>50%) collapses
8mmHg= intermediate
15mmHg= dilated (>2cm) & no collapse (<50%)
,Adult Echocardiography exam 2024/2025
What is the name of the valve of the coronary sinus?
Thebesian Valve
In which chamber would you see a chiari network?
Right atrium as fine strands of tissue similar to chordea of the mitral and tricuspid
valves
When is the LV volume the largest?
end diastole
When is the LA volume the largest?
end systole
What is the dimensionless index for evaluating aortic stenosis?
The dimensionless index is a ratio of the LVOT velocity and the peak velocity
across the aortic valve.
What is the cutoff value for severe AS when using the dimensionless index?
,Adult Echocardiography exam 2024/2025
The cutoff value for severe AS when using the dimensionless index is <0.25
When a patient has aortic regurgitation what is the equation for calculating Left
Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)?
LVEDP= Diastolic BP - the end diastolic AR gradient
How many scallops is the mitral valve divided into and what are their names?
The mitral valve is divided into 6 scallops (segments). Anterior 1,2,&3 and
Posterior 1,2 & 3.
When a patient has an aortic aneurysm at which point (size) do you need a surgical
consult?
When aortic aneurysms are larger than 5CM it't time for a surgical consult.
What happens to the mitral inflow pattern in a normal patient when you have them
perform a Valsalva maneuver?
The normal mitral inflow patterns maintains the E/A ratio (E>A) following a
Valsalva maneuver but the velocities are lower.
When a patient has pulmonary regurgitation what is the equation for calculating
Pulmonary Artery End Diastolic Pressure (PAEDP)?
, Adult Echocardiography exam 2024/2025
PAEDP = RAP+end diastolic PR gradient
(RA pressure is obtained by looking at the IVC size and collapsibility like you do
for TR and pulmonary pressures).
In the parasternal short-axis view, at the level of the mitral valve and papillary
muscle, how many segments is the left ventricle divided into?
The left ventricle is divided into 6 segments
Name the ventricular segments seen in the parasternal short-axis view.
1-Inferolateral
2-Anterolateral
3-Anterior
4-Anteroseptal
5-Inferoseptal
6-Inferior
In the apical four-chamber view, which two walls of the left ventricle are seen?
Inferoseptal and anterolateral walls of the LV are seen
