Hemodynamics Flashcards
Definition of flow
Area x Volume
Definition of volume
Area x VTI
Definition of pressure
modified Bernoulli: 4v2
PHT equation from DT
0.29 x DT
MVA by PHT
220/PHT
PVR Equation
TRvel/RVOTVTI x 10
Flow Equation
6.28 x r2 x Velalias/MRvel
Normal LVOT diameter
2.1-2.4 cm
Normal LVOT area
3.46-4.5 cm2
Normal LVOT velocity
0.9-1.1 m/sec
Normal LVOT VTI
18-24 cm
What is a normal E’?
Greater than 7
Diastolic Grades by E/E’
- Normal: Grade 1
- >15: Grade 2
- >>>15: Grade 3
What is an L wave
Mid diastolic flow shows elevated filling
How does DT predict PCWP?
Mitral DT < 120ms predicts PCWP > 20
How does E/e’ predict PCWP
E/e’ > 11 predicts PCWP >15
What E/Vp predicts LV filling?
E/Vp > 1.4 predicts LV filling > 15
RV and TVI relationship?
RV=VTI
Relate ERO, Flow, and RV
ERO = Flow (from aliasing equation)/RV (or VTI)
