Q

Why is there CHF/ pulmonary HTN with DCM?

A

Response from increased LAP

26
Q

A
  1. Reduced EF
  2. Reduced LVOT/AV velocity
  3. Abnormal Dp/DT

27
Q

How can we measure LV size and function with DCM? 5

A
  1. LV global assessment
  2. Systolic function (Dp/Dt)
  3. Simpsons
  4. LV size
  5. LV mass index
28
Q

How do we measure RV size and function?3

A
  1. RV free wall thickness
  2. Dimension
  3. Systolic function
29
Q

What are some doppler findings in DCM? 4

A
  1. Color doppler fill is reduced at a normal scale
  2. Decreased Pulmonary V acceleration time (PAT)
  3. Decreased LVOT velocity
  4. Increased RVSP
30
Q

What do we need to do to better see the color fill in DCM?

A

Decrease the color scale to see lower velocity flow

31
Q

What is the decreased LVOT velocity for DCM? (actual speed)

32
Q

What increases RVSP in DCM?

A

PHTN due to pressure back up

33
Q

What is the regurg percentage with DCM? 4 (each valve)

A
  1. MR (100%)
  2. TR (90%)
  3. PR (50%)
  4. AR (20%)
34
Q

What does doppler measurements of DCM do?

A

Quantify the severity of any regurgitation

35
Q

How do we calculate pulmonary pressures? 2

A
  1. Use TR jet max (RVSP)
  2. PAT
36
Q

What is the CO formula?

A

SV X HR or (CSA x VTI) x HR

37
Q

How do we calculate LV systolic function?

38
Q

100% of DCM has what type of regurg?

39
Q

What does significant MR do with DCM? Why is this beneficial?

A
  1. Reduces the LV preload which may make LVEF seem better than it really is
  2. Makes dp/dt especially useful for estimating global LV systolic function in DCM patients
40
Q

What is abn dp/dt < what? (for DCM)

A

abd dp/dt < 1200 mmHg/sec

41
Q

What kind of diastolic dysfunction is usually seen with DCM?

A

Grade 3 is typical

42
Q

All patients with DCM have some degree of what?

A

Diastolic dysfunction

A
  1. Increase in LVEDP
  2. Increase in LAP
  3. E/A >2.0

  5. Peak TR velocity >2.8 m/s
  6. IVRT <60ms
  7. DT <160 m/s
44
Q

What are some M-mode findings with DCM? 3

A
  1. Reduced CO due to decreased systolic function
  2. Increased EPSS
  3. B-bump
  4. Decreased AV cusp excursion or opening
  5. May also see early AV closure due to reduced CO
45
Q

Why would we see reduced CO due to decreased systolic function with M-mode for DCM? 2

A
  1. Reduced wall excursion
  2. Both IVS and PW not moving inwards
46
Q

In terms of M-mode and DCM, why would we see increased EPSS? What is abnormal?

A
  1. Due to larger chamber space
  2. > 7mm is abnormal
  3. > 20mm = EF <30%
47
Q

Why would we see a B-bump with DCM on M-mode?

A

MV tries to close early due to high LVEDP

48
Q

Why would we see decreased AV cusp excursion or opening with DCM on m-mode?

A

Due to low output from reduced CO

49
Q

What are some DCM complications? 4

A
  1. Thrombus/ emboli
  2. Dyssynchrony of contraction
  3. Sudden cardiac death
  4. Consequences of underlying disease
50

Q

What are some consequences of underlying diseases that are complications of DCM? 2

A
  1. Infective endocarditis
  2. Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
52
Q

What are 7 tips for detecting LV thrombus?

A
  1. Use highest frequency possible
  2. Use harmonic imaging
  3. Reduce depth- most thrombi are near the LV apex
  4. Utilize the focal zone
  5. Slowly pan through the LV
  6. Confirm a thrombus in 2 or more imaging planes
  7. Use color doppler as a contrast with reduced scale to confirm thrombus
53
Q

How would we generally treat DCM?

A

Treat etiology if known, clinical Hx is very important to discovering the etiology

54

If we don’t know the etiology, how would we treat DCM? 4

A
  1. Lifestyle modifications
  2. Medications
