A

False. LV is small with HCM

30
Q

Ventricular contraction with HCM may be ___ or _____

A

Normal Or hyper dynamic

31
Q

With HOCM what might occur with the aortic valve?

A

Mid systolic closure is there’s an obstruction

32
Q

HCM may be symmetric or asymmetric. What is the ratio for asymmetric Hypertrophy?

33
Q

With HOCM septal contact with the AMVL increases with what 2 things?

A

Valsalva or amyl nitrate

34
Q

LVOT obstruction causes the aortic valve to?

A

Close during mid systole

35
Q

With HCM what does the mitral inflow look like?

A

Decreased E wave due to abnormal relaxation and large A wave

36
Q

On your E/A wave. What is the duration just before the E wave called?

37
Q

On your E/A wave. What is the duration just after the A wave called?

38
Q

True or false - mid ventricular subaortic gradient may be present with HCM?

39
Q

What does the Doppler of HOCM & IHSS look like?

A

Late peaking systolic jet ; dagger shape

40
Q

A late peaking Doppler jet goes with?

A

IHSS & HOCM

41
Q

What is the drug inderal ?

A

Beta blocker

42
Q

The drug indetral ____ SAM with excercise

43
Q

True or false- With HCM the subaortic gradient will increase with provocation

44
Q

A 64 year old female with IHSS and a resting gradient of 150mmhg was admitted to the hospital with chest pain. The next day the resting gradient was 15mmhg. What happened?

  1. LV infarction
  2. RV infarction
  3. A-fib developed
  4. Post MI VSD
A
  1. LV infarction
45
Q

What are 2 treatments for HCM?

A
  • surgical septal myectomy ( open heart surgery to remove thick myocardium)
  • ETOH septal ablation (non-surgical. Catheter put into groin and into aorta and into the vessels that enter the IVS. Alcohol is injected into thick myocardium. The toxicity of the alcohol shrinks and kills the thick areas.
46
Q

Strain measures the ____ within the ____

A

Deformation ; myocardium

48
Q

What’s a normal GLS?

A

-16 to -20 %or more

49
Q

HOCM patients usually have a GLS of?

A

-8% to -10%

50
Q

What changes first within the myocardium?
Strain or EF?

A

Strain is though to change first

51
Q

____ is the acoustic signature in myocardial tissue which is what strain tracks
