Cardio #4 Echocardiography

Question 1

The image shows the motion and pattern of the four valves, revealing any potential leakage (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis) during this test a doppler ultrasound may be done to evaluate cardiac blood flow

Answer 1

Echocardiography

Question 2

What can be used to evaluate cardiac blood floow

Answer 2

Doppler ultrasound

Question 3

It can access the heart’s reaction under physical stress

Answer 3

Stress test/ Exercise tolerance test (ETT)/ treadmill test

Question 4

what is used during ST (Stress test)

Answer 4

Treadmill

Question 5

what is the kind of ST where a medication is given to the patient, which causes the heart to react as if it were under the physical stress of exercise though he is actually at rest

Answer 5

Pharmacological ST

Question 6

how does nuclear stress testing work

Answer 6

Doctors inject a radioactive substance into the blood, then use gamma-ray cameras to see how the blood moves through the heart.

Question 7

This test shows how well the heart is doing at keeping itself saturated with oxygen-rich blood. This test is often done twice to check cardiac performance at rest and under physical stress

Answer 7

Nuclear stress testing

Question 8

Harmless ultrasound waves, similar to the ones used to take sonograms of a fetus, are directed at the chest and bounce of the heart’s walls and valves. A computer analyzes these rebounding waves and calculates size, shape and movement of structures inside the heart

Answer 8

Echocardiogram (Echo)

Question 9

How many nuclear stress testing is done

Answer 9

to times

Question 10

How many echocardiogram or echo is taken by doctors

Answer 10

Two echoes

Question 11

this test combines rapid X-ray scanning with multiple Computer topography to produce the most detailed images available of the heart’s arteries without surgery

Answer 11

CT Scan

Question 12

Patients receive an injection of contrast dye to highlight the blood vessels and x-rays create images of the heart in slices. A computer assembles the slices into an image of the heart that reveals calcium and fat filled plaques lodged in the arteries

Answer 12

CT Scan

Question 13

Powerful magnets create a field that sets the nuclei of atoms in the heart cells vibrating. The oscillating atoms emit radio signals, which are converted by a computer into either still or moving 3D images. The arrow at left points to a plaque filled spot in the artery; the scan also reveals the layer of fat that envelops most hearts.

Answer 13

Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI)
