Quiz 5: Module 6-8 review Flashcards
With an increase in afterload, which of the following factors must increase in order to maintain the same stroke volume?
Contractility
Why do we see a reversal of S and D waves with increasing diastolic dysfunction?
The increased LAP does not allow PV flow into the LA during systole
What is the normal fractional area change of the RV?
_>35%
Calculate the RVSP
IVC exp = 20 mm
IVC insp = 14 mm
TR velocity = 3.4 m/sec
54 mmHg
Assess the cine clip below. Name two adjustments the sonographer should make in order to optimize the image?
- Landmarks - the ascending aorta is not seen due to improper probe rotation
- Depth- to shallow- cutting off the descending aorta
- Focus - all the way at the bottom of the screen - should be mid
- TGCs- gain is even, no adjustment needed
Which grade of diastolic dysfunction is associated with E’ velocity and E/e’ velocity ratio in the image above?
Grade 3 diastolic dysfunction
Calculate the aortic valve area given the variables below?
- LVOTd = 19mm
- VTI (LVOT) = 15 cm
- VTI (AV) = 38 cm
AVA = 1.12 cm^2
Using the numbers within the red boxes, calculate the stroke volume?
SV = 106 ml
What is compliance inverse to?
Stiffness
What grade of DD does the patient have given the values below?
- E/A ratio = 2.3
- Average E/e prime ratio = 16
- TR jet velocity = 3.6 m/s
- LAVI = 49 ml/m^2
Grade 3 (restrictive filling)
In the subcostal 4Ch view, which organ does the ultrasound beam intersect before entering the heart?
Liver
Which factor below is most likely to affect early diastolic filling?
Hypovolemia
Why does the MV inflow E wave increase so much with grade 3 diastolic dysfunction?
When the MV opens the high LA pressure drives the blood into the LV faster in early diastole
Which of the following statements best describe “inotropic force”?
The force of contraction
What is the optimal level to adjust the colour scale to when using colour doppler to interrogate the interatrial septum?
Approximately 40 cm/sec
