TR Quiz Flashcards
How do you calculate FAC
Fractional Area Change:
EDA-ESA/EDA = FAC
What are the values of FAC?
NL: 35-60% Abnormal <35% Mild: 25-35% Moderate: 18-24% Severe 17
How do you calculate MPAP?
80 - ( 0.5 x rvot accel time )
How do you calculate PAEDP?
4 x (PR end diastolic velocity2) + RAP
simple bernoulli using PI jet vel. and RAP
How do you calculate PVR?
TR peak vel./ rvot VTI X 10 + 0.16
What are the ranges of PA Pressures?
PA Pressures NL: 18-25mmHg Mild: 30-40mmHg Moderate: 40-60mmHG Severe: ≥ 60mmHg
How is the RVOT area useful to know?
RV Stroke Volume can be determined
SV = rvot VTI x rvot Area
What do PA acceleration times indicate?
They are inversely related to pressure.
acceleration time decreased = pressure increased
What are normal acceleration times for PA waveforms?
NL ≥ 140ms
Abnl < 140ms
< 90-70ms indicates PA pressures 70mmHg and above.
Which TV Leaflets do you see in the TTE Views
RA/RV: Posterior Leaflet + Anterior Leaflet
SAX/base: Septal Leaflet + Anterior Leaflet
Apical 4 Chmbr: Septal + Anterior
SubCostal SAX: Septal + Anterior
What are patient symptoms of TV disease?
fatigue poor appetite vomitting tender liver heart racing
What are some physical findings of TV disease?
distended neck veins RVE dilated PA enlarged liver peripheral edema -pitting edema -ascites poor appetite jaundice
What is the normal range for MPAP?
NL= 9-18mmHg
What is the normal range for PAEDP?
NL= 4-12mmHg
What is the calculation for RSVP
TR Pressure Gradient + RAP
