Q

How do we calculate Stroke Volume?

A

Stroke Volume = (Area at LVOT or Aortic Valve) x Stroke Distance

Said another way:

SV = Area x Stroke Distance = CSA x TVI

Stroke distance = TVI (Time Velocity Intergral) = VTI

Q

A

Use Change in Pressure = 4V2

With Mitral Regurgitation: Change in P = (PLV - PLA) = 4 (VMR)2

PLV = 4 (VMR)2 + PLA

Then substitute

VMR 1 = 4 so PLV = 4 + PLA

VMR 3 = 36 so PLV = 36 + PLA

Q

What can be caculated from Peak Late Velocity of the aortic valve?

135
Q

Given a BP of 100/55, what is the LVEDP when you have a peak late velocity of 3.38 m/sec?

A

Change in Pressure = 4V2 = AoDP - LVEDP

4 (VAI LATE) = 4(3.38)2

LVEDP = 55mmHg - 45.7 mmHg

LVEDP = 9.3 mmHg

Q

What is helpful when using the dimensionless index (velocity ratio) for BMI considerations?

A

Size independent

137
Q

What is the difference of LVOT area in 2d (ME AV LAX) vs. 3d?

A

2D = Underestimates LVOT area = Overestimate the degree of stenosis

2D = D1 but this is more of an ellipse
