Q
What is the normal LV size, volume, EF, and mass?
A
PLAX diameter: 5.3cm female, 5.9cm males
Volume: Apical 4 chamber ≤75ml/m²
Ejection Fraction: 55%
Mass: females 89ml/m², males 102ml/m²
2

A
3
Q
Using the Bernouli Equation, what is the formula for
- RVSP
- PA diastolic pressure
- Mean PA pressure
- LVEDP
- LASP
A
- = RA+4(peak TR jet velocity)²
- = RA+4(PR end-diastolic velocity)²
- = 4(PR peak systolic velocity)²
- = DBP - 4(AR end diastolic velocity)²
- =LVSP - 4(MR peak velocity)²
