  • PR
  • AR
  • decreased LVOT velocity
  • color doppler fill reduced
  • decreased PV acceleration time
32
Q

what are the 5 doppler measurements for DCMO

A

  • severity of regurge
  • SPAp, MPAP, PAEDP
  • LV EDP
  • LV Dp/Dt
33
Q

why is the LV Dp/Dt measurement so important for DCMO

A
  • MR always present and reduced afterload which will make EF higher than is
  • can asses global systolic function way better
34
Q

how does the angle of MV inflow change with DCMO

A
  • normal = inflow < 20º lateral to apex

- dilates = inflow up to 40º from apex

35
Q

what are 3 other structs that might occur at the apex other than thrombi

  • aberrant chordae
  • ruptured chordae or pap
  • prominent LV trabeculations
36
Q

  • focal zone
  • pan through LV
  • confirm thrombus in 2 or more planes
  • color doppler
37
Q

what is the etiology of hypertrophic CMO HCMO

A
  • inherited disease = X linked autosomal dominant

- increased muscle mass due to myofibril disarray producing symmetric hypertrophy of the heart

38
Q

what are the 2 sub groups of HCMO and what are they based on

A
  • non obstructive
  • hypertrophic obstructive CMO
    + HOCMO

what is provable HOCMO

A
  • mild obstruction at rest that increases with provocation

what 2 factors is obstructive CMO dependant on

A
  • preload

- afterload

51

  • as gradient increases the degree or severity increases
54
Q

characteristics of mid ventricular HCMO

A
- entire LV extremely thick 
  \+ concentric
