50
Q

The ___________ valve lies between the left atrium (LA) and the left ventricle (LV).

Mitral

51
Q

Heart Rate 80bpm, Trigger delay 50ms, Trigger window 10%, what is the available imaging time?

A

625 ms

60000 ÷ 80 = 750ms. 750 – (75<10% of 750> + 50 —125) = 625 ms total available imaging time.

52
Q

Calculate the available imaging time for a patient with a HR 60 beats/min, trigger window 10% and trigger delay of 50ms.

A

850 ms

53
Q

Calculate the effective TR for a patient with a heart rate of 60 beats / min.

A

1000 ms
If the heart rate is 60 beats per minute, the R-R interval (effective TR) would be calculated as such: 60,000 milliseconds (60 seconds per minute, and there are 1000 milliseconds per second) ÷ 60 (heart rate) which = 1000 milliseconds TR.

54
Q

Calculate the effective TR for a patient with a heart rate of 85 beats / min.

A

706 ms
60,000 / 85 = ~706

55
Q

Which sequence would be best suited to evaluate a cardiac infarction?

A

Perfusion
