ECHO Flashcards
MV tenting area
A tenting area of 6 cm2 or more usually indicates grade 3 or higher mitral regurgitation
Simplified Bernoulli equation
Assessment of RVSP
Doppler calculation of AVA
Doppler calculation of MVA
MV mean gradient by Doppler
Grading of MS
FLOW RATE
STROKE DISTANCE
STROKE DISTANCE (TVI) = distance in cm blood travels with each stroke
STROKE VOLUME
calculation stroke volume
AVA by continuity
HYDRAULIC ORIFICE FORMULA
4 PRIMARY PARAMETERS OF
DIASTOLIC FUNCTION
1) E/A ratio
2) e’ velocity
3) PA systolic pressure
4) pulmonary vein velocities
“W” in RVOT velocity
a sign of pulmonary hypertension
LV remodeling parameters
Relative Wall Thickness
(2 * PWTd) / LVIDd
(2 x posterior wall thickness) / LV internal dimension
[in diastole]
patterns of remodeling
M-mode in pulmonary hypertension
M-mode Ebstein anomaly
M-mode dilated cardiomyopathy
Dimensionless index
<0.25 is bad
