Trabeculae carneae (trabeculations) and in which chambers?
Ventricles
Pectinate muscle is located where?
Atria; especially atrial appendage
Normal amount of fluid in the pericardial sac:?
20 to 50 mL
The oblique sinus is located behind the atria or ventricles?
Potential space posterior to the atria
The definition for Stroke Volume is:
EDV - ESV or CSA x VTI
Frequency (f) most useful in an obese patient, COPD patient is?
Lowest frequency
Maneuvers which result in a decrease in venous return:
Valsalva strain, Amyl nitrate, Supine to standing, Expiration
Maneuvers which result in an increase in venous return:
Valsalva release phase, standing to supine, Inspiration
Agitated saline contrast for ASD
Saline in LA within 3-5 beats after injection or Negative contrast effect makes the diagnosis
Simpsons method of discs (MOD) biplane is used to determine what?
Volumes
Preferred view for diagnosing MVP?
PLAX
View in which the tricuspid valve may be visualized?

Smallest size of a vegetation that TTE may visualize?
3 mm (or for TEE 1mm)
Findings for RVPO (Right Ventricular Pressure Overload)
RVH, Flattened IVS throughout the cardiac cycle
What does EDV - ESV / EDV x 100 =
EF
EDV - ESV =
SV
What is the valsalva maneuver?
Strain phase reduces venous return- useful in HCM; Release phase increases venous return - PFO and ASD
Chronic MR results in what?

How to determine the severity of MR using CW Doppler?
Spectral strength and duration
Components of a turbulent jet?
PISA, Vena Contracta, Turbulent region, Relaminarization
How to differentiate MVP from flail MV?
Flail = leaflet tip points to LA and lack of coaptation
