Where is the Chiari Network located? \n - Answer -RA
Where is the aortic isthmus located? \n - Answer -Area between the left subclavian and
the ductus arteriosus(where most coarctations occur)Sinus of Valsalva is the most
common area of dissections).

Can you see the moderator band in the PLAX? \n - Answer -No- Moderator band is
located in the RV
, Where does the moderator band extend? \n - Answer -From the lower intraventricular
septum to the anterior wall where it joins the papillary muscle.
Spontaneous chordal rupture more often occurs on which leaflet of the Mitral Valve? \n -
Answer -Posterior \nAlso psterior medial papillary muscle \nSingle blood supply to
posterior wall
The heart tube normally loops? \n - Answer -Anterior and to the right
Where is the coronary sinus located in relation to the descending aorta \n - Answer -The
coronary sinus is located anterior to the descending aorta. If the coronary sinus is
dilated, it can be mistaken for the descending aorta.
How would you angle to view the coronary sinus in the apical four chamber view? \n -
Answer -From the apical four chamber you you would angle inferior in order to visualize
the coronary sinus, which is located posterior to the mitral annulus.
Why is it important to know the location of the coronary sinus and the descending
aorta? \n - Answer -Pericardial Effusions lie posterior to the coronary sinus and anterior
to the descending aorta. \nPleural effusions lie posterior to the descending aorta.
What is another name for the RVOT? \n - Answer -Infundibulum
Where is the coronary sinus located in the parasternal long axis view? \n - Answer -The
coronary sinus lies in the posterior AV groove. This groove is located between the LA
and LV walls and lies posterior to be MV. In the parasternal long axis view, the coronary
sinus can sometimes be seen as a small echo free circle.
What would cause the coronary sinus to become dilated? \n - Answer -The coronary
sinus dialates due to increased pressure in the RA, increased flow to coronary sinus.
Describe the anatomy of the tricuspid valve, including the name and location if each
leaflet. \n - Answer -Location is between the Right atria and right ventricle. It has three
leaflets: anterior, posterior, and medial or (septal) leaflets. \nThe names reflect the
anatomical relationship to the right ventricle. The medial leaflet is connected to the
septal wall. It's insertion is located closer to the cardiac apex than that of the anterior
mitral valve leaflet.
Name and describe two main layers of the pericardium? \n - Answer -Often referred to
as 2 main layers as visceral and parietal. This visceral layer lies directly upon external
surface of the heart and is commonly referred as the epicardium. The parietal or fibrous
pericardium is the thick outer sac. Pericardial cavity lies between the two
layers.Anatomically 3 layers are: serous visceral, serous parietal, fibrous pericardium.
