Q

Why do we see a reversal of S and D waves with increasing diastolic dysfunction?

A

The increased LAP does not allow PV flow into the LA during systole

Q

Assess the cine clip below. Name two adjustments the sonographer should make in order to optimize the image?

A
  1. Landmarks - the ascending aorta is not seen due to improper probe rotation
  2. Depth- to shallow- cutting off the descending aorta
  3. Focus - all the way at the bottom of the screen - should be mid
  4. TGCs- gain is even, no adjustment needed

Q

Why does the MV inflow E wave increase so much with grade 3 diastolic dysfunction?

A

When the MV opens the high LA pressure drives the blood into the LV faster in early diastole

35% normal

19
Q

What grade of DD does the patient have given the values below?

E/A ratio 1.8
Average E/e prime ratio = 13
TR jet velocity = 3.2 m/s
LAVI = 41 ml/m^2

A

20
Q

How will excessive mitral regurgitation affect the mitral valve inflow doppler profile?

A

There will be an increase to the E wave velocity

21
Q

Which grades of diastolic dysfunction coincides with increased LAP?

A

Moderate and severe NOT mild

22
Q

Where does the probe indicator point in order to acquire a standard suprasternal notch long axis view?

A

1-2 o’clock

23
Q

A student is taking an online quiz with a time limit. The questions are quite challenging, so they are feeling nervous and anxious.

What effect would this situation have on the students resting heart rate and force contraction?

A

The heart rate would likely increase due to the sympathetic nervous system

24
Q

What is the RAP given the image below?

A

15 mmHg

25
Q

Which view is best for detecting an ASD with color and spectral doppler?

A

Subcoastal 4 chamber view

26
Q

Why is the IVRT prolonged in grade 1 diastolic dysfunction?

A

The LV pressure decline is slowed during IVRT so it takes longer to fall below that of the LA

27
Q

Which of the following statements best defines the Frank-starling principle?

  1. change in pressure is equal to 4 times the velocity squared
  2. Increased preload leads to increased stroke volume
  3. Assuming there is no stenosis, the stroke volume through any point in the heart is equal to the stroke volume through any second point through the heart
  4. Preload and afterload are inversely proportional
A

Increased preload leads to increased stroke volume

28
Q

Which of the following terms refers to end diastole?

A
  1. The frame after MV closure
  2. The QRS complex
  3. The point at which we would measure LVIDd

Heart rate = 85 bpm

A

5.5 L/min

30
Q

What is the right atrial pressure estimate based on the parameters below?

IVC during inspiration = 10mm
IVC during expiration = 25mm

A

8 mmHg

31
Q

Which of the following statements is true regarding a diseased heart?

  1. As afterload increases, stroke volume decreases
  2. As preload increases, afterload decreases

A

As afterload increases, stroke volume decreases

32
Q
