Key Echo Equation Flashcards
wavelength
Lambda = c/f= 1.54/f (MHz)
Frequency
f=cycles/sec= Hz
Doppler equation
V= c x delta F/ ( 2Ft(cos theta))
Bernoulli
Delta P= 4V^2
Stroke volume
sV=EDV-ESV
Ejection Fraction
EF%= (SV/EDV) x100%
Wall Stress
PR/2Th
Doppler stroke volume
SV = CSA x VTI
Doppler- rate of pressure rise
dP/dT= 32 mm Hg /time from 1-3m/sec of MR CW jet (sec)
Pulmonary systolic pressure
PAP (systolic) = 4(V tricuspid )^2 + RAP
When pul stenosis present, PAP
PAP = (4(V tricuspid ^2)+ RAP - delta P ( RV -Pa)
Pulmonary vascular resistance
PVR= 10( V tricuspid )/ VTI RVOT
Aortic stenosis continuity equation
Ava cm^2= ( 3.14(LVOT /2)^2 x VTI LVOT )/
VTI aortic stenosis jet
Simplified continuity equation
Ava=
(3.14(lvot/2)^2 x V lvot)/
V aortic stenosis jet
Velocity ratio
V lvot/V as jet
