Normal ef
Normal end diastolic volume
Normal end systolic volume
Normal ef 67 +/-8%
Normal end diastolic volume 75 +/- 20cc
Normal end systolic volume 25 +/- 7
O2 requirement of heart
15% of that of entire organism
Heart source of energy
Ffa - plasma (ffa metab = 70% in resting/fed state)
Glucose - plasma, glycogenolysis
Shifts between heart preference for glycolysis vs beta oxidation
Gluc - increase cardiac work, inotropes, hypoxia, ischemia
Ffa - beta adrenergic stimulation
Bernoulli equation
P=4v^2
Coronary artery calcium ct scoring
Agatson score
- minimal 0-10
- mild 10-100
- moderate 100-400
- severe >400
Radiation dose per imaging
Cac measurement in ct: 1-2mSv Typical mp spect scan: 4- 11 Mp pet scan: 2.5-4 Coronary cta: 5-15 Coronary angio: 7
**1 yr equivalent background radiation: 3msv
Pathognomonic findings of infarct and and microvascular obstruction on cmr
Infarct: Late gadolinium enhancement in areas or ccoronary artery distribution; sensitivity acute -99% chronic -94%
Microvascular obstruction: dense hypoenhanced areas within the core of a birght region of infarction
Assessment of lv systolic and diastolic fxn
Systolic = normal ef >55%; low normal ef 50-55%
Diastolic = mitral relaxation velocity - prognostic significance
Mitral deceleration time <150ms - restrictive physiology and severe diastolic dysfunction
Assessment of rv fxn
Fractional area chabge: correlate with outcomes
Contrast induced nephropathy return to baseline of renal function
7-10 days
Gadolinium nephropathy
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis - unchelated form of gadolinium
Hallmark of myocardial ischemia on 2d echo
- Wall motion abnormalities
- reduced systolic wall thickening
Rate of major adverse cardiac event annually if PET/SPECT is normal
<1% annnually
Normal coronary flow reserve
> 2.0
Fractional flow reserve
Pressure differential between a coronary segment distal to a stenosis and the aortaPressure differential between a coronary segment distal to a stenosis and the aorta
Normal=1
Low risk ett
> 10 mets without chest pain or ecg changes
= managed medically
High risk ett
- Typical angina with >2mm st dep
- ste
- sustained arrhythmia
- drop in bp
Management: refer for coronary angio
