26
Q

isovolumic relaxation time

A
  • covers time between AV closure and MV opening

- pressure is falling from that of the aorta to below pressure in the LA

27
Q

IVRT - sampling

A
  • place sample volume slightly more medial than would for MV inflow tracing
28
Q

IVRT normal duration

A

50-100 ms

29
Q

IVRT prolonged

A
  • it is taking to long for LV to relax (impaired relaxation)
  • may be normal if over 60 years old
30
Q

tissue doppler of MV annulus

A
  • as LV expands in diastole it lengths from base to apex
  • velocity of expansion or contraction of the tissue can be measured using pulsed wave doppler
  • LESS DEPENDENT ON PRELOAD
31
Q

ways that LV changes shaoe

A
  • radially = moving out and in
  • circumferentially - circle
  • these two are in fractional shortening
  • longitudinally (apical 4 assessment)
  • torsion (twisting and untwisting)
32
Q

longitudinal TVI

A
  • tissue velocity imaging

- also called TDI (tissue doppler imaging)

33
Q

doing TDI of MV

A
  • scan apical 4 focused on LV
  • color scale lower than for color doppler
  • blue = diastole
  • red = system
  • place a sample volume within medial and lateral annulus
  • make sure SV stays within annulus throughout cardiac cycle
34
Q

TVI medial MV annulus normal value

A

> /= 8 cm/s

35
Q

TVI lateral MV annulus normal valve

A

> /= 10 cm/s

36
Q

pulmonary venous flow - when do they fill LA

A
  • ventricular systole
  • early diastole
  • diastasis
37
Q

flow is reversed in pulmonary veins when

A
  • atrial systole (after P wave)

-

38
Q

what pulmonary vein do we usually do PW

A

right upper pulmonary vein

- RUPV

39
Q

pulmonary vein waves

A
  • S wave (systolic wave)
  • D wave (diastolic wave)
  • A wave reversal (caused by atrial contraction)
40
Q

S wave

A
  • normally greater than D wave velocity
  • divided into S1 and S2 wave
  • occasionally S1 and S2 are discernible
41
Q

D wave

A
  • normally smaller than S wave
42
Q

A wave reversal

A
  • blood temporarily flows back into the PV from the LA due to lack of a valve
43
Q

normal E/e prime ratio

A

= 8

44
Q

pulmonary veins normal value

A

S > D

45
Q

mitral stenosis effect on MV inflow

A
  • MV thickened leaflets tethered together = MV opening smaller = speeds of flow
  • color moving through the open MV will be of higher velocity = aliased
  • measure speed with CW (no aliasing)
  • INCREASED IN BLOOD FLOW VELOCITY IS PROPORTIONAL TO REDUCTION IN MV AREA WHEN OPEN
46
Q

normlal mitral reugure

A
  • trivial or trace of physiologic MR
47
Q

CW of severe MR

A
  • flow lasts throughout systole and both isovolumic periods

- 5/7 m/s

48
Q

LV outflow doppler assessment order

A
  • LVOT/AV/aorta color dopple r
  • LVOT = PW
  • AV - CW outflow
  • AV - CW for regurge if present
49
Q

LVOT assessment view

A
  • done in apical 5 chamber need to see valves of aorta
50
Q

Sample volume placement of LVOT

A
  • place in middle of LVOT
  • 5 mm inferior to AV cusps
  • size of sample volume is 3-5 mm
  • wan tto see closing click and hollow envelope
51
Q

LVOT PW doppler assess

A
  • LVOT max velocity

- LVOT VTI

52
Q

aortic regurge

A
  • assessed with CW

- pressure gradient lowers as ventricle fillis and ventricle pressure increases

53
Q

CW cursor placement

A
  • should not go through IVS

- slightly higher in valve than LVOT

54
Q

CW doppler assessmentif AO

A
  • AV max velocity
  • AV VTI
  • AV peak and mean gradient
55
Q

peak gradient

A

4(PV)^2

56
Q

mean gradient

A
  • average of all sample points in trace
57
Q

calculating AV area

A
  • need 3 things
    + LVOT diameter
    + LVOT VTI
    + AV VTI
58
