21
Q

The 2 chamber view is good for these few thing:

A
  1. Wall motion/Global LV function
  2. Mitral Valve issues
22
Q

This view resembles a “basilisk fang” and is obtained from a bisection of the LV, parallel to the IV septum

A

2 Chamber long axis single oblique

23
Q

This view allows assesment of both mitral and tricuspid valves

A

The Horizonal Long Axis (4 Chamber View)

24
Q

The 4 chamber view is not great for looking at many congenital heart problems, except:

A

AV canal defect

25
Q

What view is this?

What is the defect?

A

4 chamber view

Atrioventricular septal defect w

ith ostium primum atrial septal defect (arrowhead) and inlet ventricular septal defect (arrow).

26
Q

This is a “down the barrel of polyjuice potion” series of views taken perpendicular to the long axis of the heart.

A

LV Short Axis view

27
Q

The short axis view is obtained perpendicular to what axis?

A

4 chamber horizontal long axis

28
Q

What view is this?

Identify the structures

29
Q

Other name for the 3 chamber view

A

Apical LONG axis view

29
Q

This view is obtained by using a short axis view around the mid-base region near the aortic outflow tract

A

Apical long axis view (3 chamber)

30
Q

What view is this?

A

3 chamber view

31
Q

The advantage of the 3 chamber view

A

Visualization of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)

32
Q

Best view to show aortic regurgitation or stenosis?

A

3 chamber view

33
Q

Descibe the right Atrial enlargement on CXR

A

Shifting of the right heart border

34
Q

Described the right Ventricle enlargement

A

Cardiac apex is tilted up and out

35

Elevation of the left main Bronchus
Walking man sign

37
Q

A classic sign describing the posterio displacemnt of the left mainstem bronchus

A

Walking man sign

38
Q

Identify the lesion

A

Echogenic focus in the left ventricle

39
Q

What is the Echogenic focus in the Left ventricle?

They are associated with what increase of incidence?

A

Calcified papillary muscle

Downs Syndrome

40
Q

DIagnosis?

A

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the Interarterial Septum

41
Q

dumbbell (bilobed) appearance of fat density in the atrial septum

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the Interarterial Septum

42
Q

What structure is spared in the Lipomatous hypertrophy of the Interarterial Septum

A

Fossa ovalis

43
Q

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the Interarterial Septum can cause what type of Arythmia?

A

Supraventricular arrythmia

43
