Peripheral Arterial Disease- Lecture 2 Flashcards
CW doppler has ____ crystals and angle of insonation is _____degrees
2, 45-60
-estimates the frequencies
-displayed on strip chart recorder
-not as common as spectral analysis
-zero-crossing frequency meter
can adjust the gain*
Analog
- displays individual frequencies using FFT method
- time is on horizontal axis, velocity or frequency shifts is on vertical axis
spectral waveform
peak systolic pressure is ______ as the pulse wave progresses down the lower limb
amplified
they systolic pressure measured at the ankle is normally ______ than that in the upper arm
higher
smaller vessels = ________ in resistance and ______ in diastolic flow component
increase, decrease
most reliable pressure parameter for diagnosis of arterial narrowing
peak systolic pressure/velocity
is CW qualitative or quantitative?
qualitative
first change seen with disease is ….
loss of reverse component
Monophasic can be found ______ and _____ to an occlusion
proximal, distal
vasodilation of the distal vessels often occur with _____ obstruction, reducing the pulsatility, causing the signals to have lower resistant (steady) flow quality
proximal
analog not capable of detecting velocities less than ____cm/sec
6
doppler typically used in lower extremities
CW
what should you adjust to get rid of noise
increase the filter and reduce the gain
quantitative interpretation
- pulsatility index
- acceleration time
- inverse damping factor
- transit time
Pulsatility Index
peak 1 to peak 2 divided by mean frequency
