Exam 1 Flashcards
To Rock this Shit!
What defines the LVOT.
From the free edge of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to the annulus of the Aortic valve.
What defines the major axis?
The longitudinal centerline of the heart from the apex to the base.
What defines the minor axis?
The minor axis of the heart is perpendicular to the major axis and is parallel to the base and fiberous skeleton.
Regarding the left ventricle, what defines the most basal third?
The most basal third of the LV extends from the Atrioventricular Groove to the tip of the papillary muscles.
Regarding the left ventricle, what define the middle third?
That part of the ventricle that contains the papillary muscles.
Regarding the left ventricle, what defines the apical third?
The apical third begins at the bad of the papillary muscles and extends to the apex.
What is LV Chamber quantification?
The part of the exam that determines the Left Ventricular diameter.
What is hyperdynamic?
Excessive wall motion (EF increased/HR increased)
What is Hypokinetic?
Mildly decrease wall motion.
What is dyskinetic?
LV Wall segments contracting ate different times.
What is Akinetic?
No motion.
Regarding the RV, what is normal?
Smaller than the LV with apex more basal than the LV apex
Regarding the RV, what is Mildy dilated?
Enlarged but still less than the LV.
Regarding the RV, what is moderately dilated?
RV size = LV size.
Regarding the RV, what is severely dilated?
RV size > LV size.
Regarding the RV, what is the normal wall thickness?
Wall thickness should not be greater than 0.5 cm.
How do we estimate RAP?
What is the view the estimate is based upon?
We measure the IVC and determine its inspiratory collapse
What is the normal size of the IVC?
What is an acceptable view to measure from?
1.7 cm< 1.7 cm is small> 1.7 cm is dilated
If IVC is normal and inspiratory collapse is 50%, a what is the estimated RAP?
0-5 mmHg
If the IVC is greater than 1.7 cm and inspiratory collapse is 50%, what is the estimated RAP?
5-10 mmHg
If the IVC is less than 1.7 cm with spontaneous inspiratory collapse, what is the estimated RAP?
Decreased volume.
If the IVC is greater than 1.7 cm and inspiratory collapse is less than 50%, what is the estimated RAP?
10-15 mmHg
If the IVC is dilated greater than 1.7 cm with no inspiratory collapse, what is the estimated RAP?
15-20 mmHg Dilated
If the IVC is dilated greater than 1.7 cm and has dilated hepatics with no change on inspiration, what is the estimated RAP?
> 20 mmHg
What is normal limits of LV diameter for men?
4.2 - 5.9 cm (+0.3) Mild, Mod,
What are normal limits of LV for women?
3.9 - 5.3 cm (+0.3) Mild, Mod,
What are the normal limits of LV diastolic volume for men?
67 - 155 ml (+22mL) Mild, Mod,
What are the normal limits for LV diastolic volume for women?
56 - 104 ml (+12mL) Mil, Mod.
What are normal limits for LV systolic volume for men?
22 - 58mL (+11mL) Mild, Mod,
What are normal limits for LV systolic volume in women?
19-49ml (+9mL) Mild, Mod,
What are the normal limits for D-E excursion?
NL for D-E Excursion are 18-28mm
What are the normal limits for EPSS?
Normal limits for EPSS are 2-7mm
What are the normal limits for IVS Thickness?
Normal limits for IVS thickness are 0.6-1.1 cm
