What does TAPSE stand for?
Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion
What does TAPSE measure?
DISPLACEMENT of lateral TV annulus
What does TDI stand for?
Tissue Doppler Imaging
What does TVI stand for?
Tissue Velocity Imaging
Tissue Velocity Imaging, aka
Tissue Doppler Imaging
Tissue Doppler Imaging, aka
Tissue Velocity Imaging
Where do you place the TDI sample volume for the TV?
1 cm inferior/apical of TV lateral annulus
What does TDI of the TV measure?
VELOCITY of tissue displacement at the lateral annulus
What part of the TDI wave is measured to assess systolic function?
s’ wave
What does Dp/Dt measure?
global systolic performance via the rate of rise of systolic pressure on the mitral regurg.
How do you do Dp/Dt?
CW with colour of MR in A4CH, increase sweep speed to 150-250 cm/s, optimize signal, measure the time it takes for the regurgitant flow to go from 1 m/s to 3 m/s on the acceleration slope
formula for Dp/Dt
ΔP/Δt x 1000 = 4v^2/Δt x 1000, [mmHg]
formula for pressure gradient
P1-P2 = 4v^2
What does Speckle Tracking measure?
measures strain in each wall segment by tracking two 2D speckles within each segment
What does Deformation Imaging measure?
measures strain in each wall segment by tracking two 2D speckles within each segment
Deformation Imaging, aka
Speckle Tracking
Speckle Tracking, aka
Deformation Imaging
What is Global Strain?
average strain of all wall segments
How do you evaluate a heart using the Wall Motion Index?
each wall segment gets a score based on the type of motion observed, scores are averaged (summed and divided by # of segments), and the average motion score is correlated to an appropriate EF
wall motion scoring system
- Normal/Hyperkinetic
- Hypokinetic
- Akinetic
- Dyskinetic
- Aneurysmal
