Echo bit of everything Flashcards
Pulsus Paradoxus
During INSPIRATION the RV shift the IVS towards the LV in diastole
During EXPIRATION the LV shift the IVS towards the RV
DX
Penetrating Ulcer
It’s an atherosclerotic ulcer that penetrated the intima tunica until rich the media tunica
Echo free space Anterior to Descending aorta, is called?
Pericalrdial effusion
DX
Pericarditis
DX
Apical HCMP
DX
Dilated Cardiomyopathy or
LBBB
Firts thing to evaluated in dilated Cardiomyophaty
Systolic function
How to know if the patient has a intrapulmonary shunt after contrast study?
If the bubbles appers in the LA and LV after 5 beast (counting from the full oapcification of the RA and RV)
Small pocket of Pericardium surrounding the great arteries posterioly
the transvers sinus
DX
Restricitve CDP
When could it be considered an atrial spetal aneurysms?
if the bulge is more than 1 cm
Does high output power destroid the microbubles?
yes, so careful adjustmen of instrument power O is needed during contrast study.
Usually MEchanical index aboit 0,5
Early Echo sing of Tamponade?
Right atrial Systolic collapse
Ealy sign because the right atrial has the lowets pressure
How to know if the patient has a intracardiac shunt after contrast study?
If the bubbles appers in the LA and LV before 3 beast
When the term Aneurysm is used on the Aorta?
when the dilatation of the aorta Exceeds the expected diameter by 50% or more
What are the most cause of death from Aortic Aneurysms?
Dissection and Ruptures
B bump indicated:
Systolic Disfunction:
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Echo finding on Cardiac Tamponade
-RA systolic collapse greater than one-third of systole
-RV diastoly collapse
-Severe IVC dilatation
-Reciprocal Respiratoy changes >25% in RV and LV filling
-Reciprocal respiratory changes in RV and LV volumen (septal Shifting)
-Reduce E’ in TDI
Classification of HOCM?
not obstructive, PG < 30mmhg
Obstuctive, PG > 30mmhhg
Provacate or latent, PG <30mmhg but the obstruction occurs just with excercise
what can it cause a Sweinging Heart? and is it demostrated in ECG
Large pericardial E.
In ECG, there is an alternation of QRS. one high and another small.
Vessels tha supply bood to the vessel?
Vaso Vasorum vessel
DX
RA Systole Collapse more than one-third of systole. Cardiac Tamponade
DX
DX
SAM
Preture closure of the mitral valve. and it looks like subvalvular aortic but at the end of the signal opens a bit more
Can pericarditis be diagnosed just with ECho?
Not, it a clinical DX
Echo is looking for effusion, tamponade or thickening of the pericqrdium
Contraindication of contrast study?
Hypersensitivity to contrast agent or ingredients
It’s the only contraindication
DX
RV diastole collapase. Cardiac Tamponade
What are the BLIND SPOT of the Aorta in TTE?
Distal part of the Ao
Anterior part of the Arch
DX
Sinus of Valvasa Aneurysms on TEE
Types of Contrast Agent
Agitated Saline (right Heart)
Microbubles (LV and miocadial opacification)
DX
Cardiac Amyloidosis
symmetrci LV hyperttophy and it looks like speckel
DX
Aortic Arch Dissection
The echo contrast is mainly used for evaluation of what orifice in the atrial?
ostium secundum
DX
Pulsus alternans
Indicated Systolic disfunction
Name of th sign and DX
Cobweb sign
aortic dissection, the cobweb is always pointing towards the false lumen
Typical findings in marfan syndrome?
Effacement of the Sinotubular junction
Dilated Ao
MR
LV Enlargment
DX
Dinamic obstruction
SAM
Dagger Shaped
how many bubbles do you have to see when using Agitated SC in order to be severe?
1 - 9 small
10- 30 moderated
>30 SEVERE
DX
Intramural Hematoma
DX
Restrictive CDP
If there is a bulge in the Atrial septal lees than 1 cm, how is it called?
Redundant Atrial Septum
DX
HTN .: Findings
1- LV Hypertrophy
2- AV Sclerosis
3- Calcificated MV
4- Ao dilatation
Effacement of the sinutubular junction is characteristis of:
Marfan syndrome
Does the Micarobubles (Agent contrats) have a lower impidence than the blood
true
DX
Systoly disfunction
Decrease on Anteroo-posterio movement of the Aortic root
Premature clusure of the AV
DX
Left Ventricle non compaction cardiomyopathy
DX
Intramural Hematoma. it’s demostrated as a thick wall betwwen the lumen of the vessel and the brignnes of the adventicia tunica on the botton
