The PISA radias is 2mm. What degree of mitral regurgitation is the most consistent?
- Severe MR
- Mild MR
- Moderate MR
- Trivial MR
Mild
Mild <0.4cm
Mod 0.4 - 0.89
Severe >0.9 cm
What degree of aortic regurgitation severity is consistent with a regurgitant volume of 47ml?
- Moderate AR
- Mild AR
- Trivial AR
- Severe AR
Moderate AR
Moderate R volume AI = 30-60
Which is the best view for diagnosing a mitral valve prolapse?
PLAX
Angina is one of the main symptoms of AS. Which 2 choices represents the mechanism by which angina appears with AS?
- Increased myocardial oxygen demand due to LVH
- Increased afterload reduces stroke volume
- Increased LV pressure causes compression of the intramyocardial coronary arteries
- Increased LA pressure causes increased pulmonary pressures
- Increased myocardial oxygen demand due to LVH
- Increased LV pressure causes compression of the intramyocardial coronary arteries
- Flow through the MV diastole is 130 ml
- Flow through the LVOT is 75ml
What grade of MR is the regurgitant volume most consistent with?
Moderate MR
Rvol = SV regurg valve - SV normal valve
Mod MR = Rvole 30-60 ml
What are the three crucial pieces of information that one needs in order to perform a PISA calculation on mitral regurgitation?
- Nyquist limit
- MR peak velocity
- MR VTI
Which etiology of AS has thickening that starts on the underside of the cusps?
Calcific AS
Which etiology of aortic regurgitation is most likely to lead to severe acute AI?
Bicuspid aortic valve
What is the mitral regurgitation severity of a patient with MV vena contracta of 9mm?
Severe
MR vena contract
1. Mild <0.3
2. Mod 0.3 - 0.69
3. Severe >0.7
A sonographer is asked to perform an aortic valve regurgitant volume and regurgitant fraction calculation using the stroke method. The MV is also leaking moderately.
What of the following describes the best course of action?
- Use the PV as the control valve
- Use the MV as the control valve and adjust for MR
- Tell the doctor that the calculation cannot be done due to the MR
- Use the MV as the control valve
Use the PV as the control valve
Why is the right heart pressure assessment vital in the consideration of surgical correction for mitral stenosis?
Chronically elevated right heart pressures lead to permanent lung damage that does not result after surgery
What cause of aortic regurgitation is most likely to produce an eccentric AI jet?
- Bicuspid
- Senile AV
- Rheumatic AV
- Calcified AV
Bicuspid AV
Which of the following criteria should be evaluated on a M-mode tracing of a patient with AS?
- Cusp thickening
- AV cusp excursion
- AV closure line
- All of these are correct
All of these are correct
