31
Q

During IVRT what is pressure in the LV?

A

It is falling

32
Q

Where should we place the sample volume during IVRT?

A

Between the MV inflow and LVOT

33
Q

If IVRT is prolonged, what does this mean?

A

If IVRT is prolonged it is taking too long for the LV to relax (impaired relaxation)

34
Q

IVRT may be normal for what population?

A

> 60 years

35
Q

What does the purple arrow point to?

36
Q

Where does IVRT lie?

39
Q

In Mitral stenosis, the MV opening is what?

40
Q

In MV stenosis hemodynamics what is blood flow velocity like?

A

It increases

41
Q

In Mitral stenosis what happens if the MV has a higher velocity?

A

It is aliased

42
Q

In Mitral stenosis, as the valve gets smaller what happens?

A

The flow gets faster

43
Q

CW of Mitral regurgitation last throughout what periods?

A

Systole and isovolumic periods

44
Q

How fast is the CW of mitral regurgitation?

A

Near 5-7 m/s very fast

45
Q

During tissue doppler of the MV annulus, as the LV expands in diastole what happens to the base?

46
Q

What are a couple ways the LV changes it shape during tissue doppler of MV annulus? 4

A
  1. Radially
  2. Circumferentially
  3. Longitudinally

What is the A wave reversal?

A
  1. Blood temporarily flows back into the PV from the LA due to lack of a valve
