17
Q

What does it mean to “DEFORM”?

A

myocardial fibers should be lengthened during diastole and shortened during systole

18
Q

What is the equation for STRAIN?

A

strain = L - Lo / Lo x 100

L = length after deformation (short)
Lo = original length

19
Q

Define STRAIN RATE

A

rate of change in the myocardial length

20
Q

What is the EQUATION for strain rate?

A

SR = (V2-V1) /D

difference in tissue Doppler velocities between two locations divided by the distance between them**

21
Q

What MODALITIES are used for strain rate?

A
  1. quantitative TDI
  2. speckle
22
Q

What are the NORMS for Longitudinal Strain?

A

Longitudinal strain ≥ absolute 20%
Longitudinal strain rate ≥ 1 Hz

23
Q

What is LONGITUDINAL STRAIN?

A

an average of strain values captured at the segments longitudinally (A4,A3,A2)

24
Q

What is the NORMAL Stroke Volume for LVSF?

A

Normal ≥ 70 cc

25
Q

How do you calculate SV?

A

SV = .785 x d2 x VTI

26
Q

What does SV require?

A

-accurate diameter
-laminar flow
-parallel angle

27
Q

What is the EQUATION and NORM for CARDIAC OUTPUT?

  • you do once you have SV*
A

CO = SV X HR /100

Normal ≥ 4 L/min

28
Q

What is the EQUATION and NORM for CARDIAC INDEX?

A

CI = CO / BSA

Normal ≥ 2.4 L/min/m²

29
Q

What 3 factors do you need to determine SHAPE OF AORTIC or LVOT Doppler Outflow Curve?

A
  1. ejection time (ET)
  2. Ao acc time (AT)
  3. Ao decel time (DT)
30
Q

In what view(s) & modality(s) are you using to find ET/AT/DT?

A

PW LVOT or
CW A5

31
Q

What are the NORMS for:
ET?
AT?
DT?

A

< 188 msec
< 230 msec

32
Q

Who would be CANDIDATES for biventricular pacemaker?

A
  1. NYHA functional class III or IV
  2. EF ≤ 35%
  3. QRS ≥ 120 ms
33
Q

What is a good indicator of dyssynchrony?

A

QRS ≥ 120 ms

34
Q

What are the 3 types of dyssynchrony?

A
  1. intraventricular
  2. interventricular
  3. atrioventricular
35
Q

What is INTRAVENTRICULAR?

A

ill timing between LV segments

36
Q

What is INTERVENTRICULAR?

A

ill timing of right to left ventricular contraction

  • should contract at same time*
37
Q

What is ATRIOVENTRICULAR?

A

ill timing of atria and ventricle contraction

38
Q

How do you rule OUT ACUTE HEART FAILURE?

A

normal levels of BNP

39
Q

What is BNP (brain natriuretic peptide)?

A

secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of heart muscle cells

40
Q

What is the MARK KARRY METHOD?

A

shortcut method in which optimal setting tends to be where r wave of ECG aligns with MV closing click

41
Q

What is the EQUATION of FRACTIONAL SHORTENING and the NORMS?
