Q

Define ductus arteriosus (PDA)?

Explain the physiology behind a ductus arteriosus

A
  • extracardiac shunt resulting from a communication between the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and the proximal left pulmonary artery
  • in utero, the blood that reaches the pulmonary artery from the RV cannot enter the collapsed (partially functional) lungs; instead it is diverted across the ductus arteriosus into the DTA
  • Soon after birth, the pressure in the pulmonary artery falls below the pressure in DTA and blood flow in the ductus arteriosus reverses its direction –> flow from DTA into pulmonary artery
  • High O2 content of the ductal blood triggers closure of the ductus arteriosus in most newborns

Q

What is a complication of (untreated) PDA?

A

    • R-to-L shunting of deoxygenated blood
    • cyanotic lower extremities because deoxygenated blood from the PA crosses the PDA and enters the DTA past the origin of the aortic arch vessels, which supply fully oxygenated blood to the head and the arms

Q

Why is PHT (assessment of MS) not reliable after PMBV?

A
  • PHT method assumes LV pressure and compliance are normal
  • PMBV –> sudden increase in mitral orifice area leading to an increase in the SV delivered to the LV in early diastole
  • Because LV compliance cannot acutely change, the LVDP increases
  • Increase in LVDP –> diastolic gradient between the LA and LV decreases and the mitral PHT shortens (above and beyond what would be expected by an increase in the MVA alone after valvuloplasty)
  • PHT method –> erroneously large MVA

  • MG is approximately 60% of the PG (ΔPVmax)
    • ΔPmean = 0.6 x ΔPVmax
61
Q

Describe the findings

A
  • Severe PI
    • common long-term complication of ToF repair
    • large regurgitant orifice, the pressure gradient between the pulmonary artery and the RV equalizes rapidly –> premature cessation of the pulmonic regurgitant jet
    • equalization is achieved by mid diastole and there is no measureable end-diastolic gradient demonstrated
62
Q

Describe the findings of end-diastolic gradient and RVSP in the setting of severe PI

A
  • Very low, approaching zero
  • RVSP exceeds PASP by 9 mmHg
63
Q

Calculate LAP

A
  • Mean LAP can be estimated semiquantitatively from peak flow velocity of mitral E wave (E) and peak velocity of mitral annular tissue Doppler wave (e’)
  • E/e’ = 142 / 8 = 18 –> elevated LAP
64
Q

Describe the mitral inflow and LV relaxation pattern

A
  • Restrictive filling pattern
  • Mitral inflow pattern is a combination:
    • abnormal LV relaxation –> E/A wave > 2
    • elevated LAP –> rapid E wave deceleration time ( < 160 ms)
65
Q

Explain the effects of mitral inflow velocity (E) with Valsalva maneuver

A
  • PV of the mitral E wave is expected to decrease
    • Valsalva –> decrease preload
    • lower early diastolic pressure gradient between LA and LV –>
    • lower peak velocity of the mitral E wave and a lower mitral E/A ratio
66
Q

Describe what causes:

  • mitral inflow A wave
  • atrial reversal (AR) wave
A
  • In sinus rhythm, the LA contracts following the P wave on EKG and the blood is propelled both forward into the LV across the MV, as well as backward into the pulmonary veins, which lack valves
    • mitral inflow (A) wave: forward flow
    • atrial reversal (AR) wave: retrograde flow into the pulmonary veins
67
Q

Describe the effects on AR wave in the setting of elevated LVDP (at the time of atrial contraction)

A

Both peak velocity and duration of the AR wave are increased

68
Q

What peak AR velocity is indicative of elevated LVDP?

69
Q

What AR duration inferrs elevated LVDP?

A

> 30 ms more than mitral inflow (A) wave duration

  • PV AR wave - PV mitral inflow A wave
    • 201 ms - 170 ms = 40 ms
70
Q

Explain the effects of A-fib on AR wave

A

AR wave is absent in atrial arrhythmias

71
Q

What is the effect of LAP on S (systolic) and D (diastolic) waves in pulmonary vein tracings?

A

higher the LAP –> lower S/D ratio

72
Q

Explain the effects of constrictive pericarditis

A
  • Ventricular filling is constrained by an inelastic pericardial sac that envelopes the entire heart except for the cranial portion of the left atrium and pulmonary veins. This leads to:
    • ventricular interdependence
    • differential impact of negative intrathoracic pressure that develops during inspiration on pulmonary veins and the heart
73
Q

Define ventricular interdependence

When does this occur?

A
  • diastolic filling of one ventricle at the expense of the other depending on the respiratory phase
    • Net effect of inspiration –> RV fills at the expense of the LV (interventricular septum moves toward the LV)
      • opposite occurs in expiration
  • Constrictive pericarditis
    • Inspiration
      • pressure in the intrathoracic systemic vein decreases
      • leads to a larger pressure gradient between extra- and intrathoracic systemic veins –> results in improved RV filling
      • At the same time, the drop in intrathoracic pressure with inspiration decreases the pulmonary venous pressure
      • Because of the thickened rigid pericardium, the drop in the intrathoracic pressure cannot be transmitted to the heart; this results in a decreased pressure gradient between pulmonary veins and the left atrium, and decreased LV filling in diastole
74
Q

Describe the findings

A
  • Constrictive pericarditis
    • M-mode: ventricular interdependence
      • inspiration –> RV fills at expense of LV –> interventricular septum moves toward the LV (opposite occurs in expiration)
      • Hepatic vein doppler: exaggerated flow in inspiration/expiration due to shifting of the interventricular septum
        • Inspiration –> exaggerated forward flow
        • Expiration –> exaggerated flow reversal
75
Q

Describe the findings

A

Coarctation of the aorta (severe)

  • holodiastolic / antegrade flow throughout the cardiac cycle
  • large peak systolic gradient ~ 60 mmHg
76
Q

Explain the difference in the spectral doppler tracings

A
  • Normal systole consists of:
    • isovolumic contraction time
    • ejection period
  • A - Tricuspid regurgitant jet
    • extends throughout systole
  • B - Aortic stenosis jet
    • shorter duration
    • later onset (compared to TR jet)
77
Q

Describe the findings

A
  • Cardiac tamponade
    • Mitral inflow –> abnormal relaxation
      • peak velocity of the mitral E wave is lower than that of the A wave
      • deceleration time is prolonged
    • Inspiratory drop (respiratory variation) in mitral inflow E wave > 25%
      • ​ΔE = Eexpiration - Einspiration / Eexpiration
      • ΔE = 170 - 110 / 170 = 60 / 170 = 35%
78
Q

What are two major findings on spectral Doppler indicative of constrictive pericarditis and cardiac tamponade?

A
  • Diastolic dysfunction
    • CP –> restrictive filling pattern (E/A > 2, E wave DT < 160 ms)
    • CT –> abnormal relaxation pattern (E/A > 1)
  • Inspiratory drop (respiratory variation) in mitral inflow E wave > 25%
79
Q

What is one finding that is consistent in both constrictive pericarditis and pericardial tamponade?

A

Ventricular interdependence

or

Inspiratory drop (respiratory variation) in mitral inflow E wave > 25%

80
Q

When are respiratory variations measured in cardiac tamponande and constrictive pericarditis?

A

peak velocity of the E wave

81
Q

What can differentiate findings of constrictive pericarditis and cardiac tamponade on spectral Doppler tracings?

A
  • Mitral inflow filling pattern / diastolic dysfunction
    • CT = E/A > 2
    • CP = E/A > 1
82
Q

Describe the findings

A
  • Severe TR (RAP rises progressively toward the end of ventricular systole)
    • A - when tricuspid regurgitant orifice is large, there is ventricularization of the RAPs –> very rapid pressure equilibration between RVP and the RAP
    • B - Rapid rise in RAP –> rapid deceleration slope of the tricuspid regurgitant jet (blue arrow)
