Anatomy and Tools Flashcards
T/F: Most common graphs to the LCA arise from the LEFT anterior surface of the aorta.
True
T/F: In patients with a short or narrow aortis root, a 3.5 mm tip catheter may be needed?
True
Right Atrium is?
2 things
Tricuspid is largest Valve
&
Has the lowest pressure
Pressure of Rt Atrium
Pressure = 5
RV is about 25/RA
Normal RV pressure?
25 / 7-12
Normal BP calculation?
2
CO x SVR
HR x SV x SVR
What would increase RA Pressure?
If the pressure would rise, where would this be visible on a patient?
Tricuspid stenosis
Jugular Enlargement
In an RV MI :
What is the RV pressure?
What is the PA pressure?
25/5 normal
PA would not change
What would cause LV systolic pressure to rise?
Aortic Stenosis
***What would increase LVEDP and not LV systolic pressure?
LV MI
What is the RV systolic pressure of PS?
^ 25 in pressure.
What is the RA pressure of TR (tricuspid regurg)?
Right sided
Pressure will rise^
JVD = true.
What is the PA pressure of COPD?
Pressure is 30
Expansion of Aviolar curus blood vessels
CO = \/
What is the PA pressure of MS?
LA Enlargement Chronic = rise
Acute = same
What is the PA pressure of MR?
La enlargement chronic = rise
acute = same
Could the PA systolic pressure ever be greater than RV systolic pressure?
NEVER
It would back up into the RV.
RA – RV
Ra will always protect the Lungs from the rise of pressure.
read and know
What is it doing ( look forward)
What are the effects ( look back)
Is the LVEF = RVEF
The pressures are the different
EF = same
SV = same
Which valve has the smallest valve area?
Aortic valve
If there is a valve stenosis or regurg, which CO should you use?
Fick CO
You have a 50 year old admitted to the cath lab . HR 200, BP 90 / 50, what would you do?
Synchronized Cardioversion
In what condition do you get the equalization of LVEDP and RVEDP?
Constrictive Pericarditis
Pulmonic stenosis is generally associated with what?
Congenital Anomalities
What is the max dose of radiation a worker can revieve in a year?
5 REM
If a patient has a dilated aortic root, which catheter might you need to cannulate the right coronary system?
JR5
In the terms RAO and LAO, the R and the L refer to what?
the position of the image intensifier
Synchonous ( demand) pacemakers have what unique ability?
they sense the hearts intrinsic activity and pace only when needed.
