Q

What is diastolic dysfunction ?

A

When LV myocardium does NOT listen and does not accept normal blood return from the LA
( the LV is not filling properly bc myocardium is not properly moving!)

22
Q

To evaluate LV diastolic dysfunction, a ______ Doppler is placed at the MV leaflets

A

PW

23
Q

What is a normal PW E/A ratio?

A

1.1-1.5

24
Q

What does IVRT stand for?

A

Isovolumetric relaxation time

25
Q

What is diastisis?

A

When LA passively fills LV and then stops

26
Q

What are the 4 grades of diastolic dysfunction ?

A

1 = impaired relaxation
2= pseudonormal
3= restrictive (reversible)
4= restrictive (non reversible)

27
Q

In grade 1 of diastolic dysfunction, what happens to the E wave velocity?
- ratio?
- deceleration time?

A

Reduced resulting in E/A reversal
- <1.0
- >200 milliseconds

28
Q

In grade 2 of diastolic dysfunction,
- what happens?
- signs and symptoms
- function status
- left atrium
- filling pressures
- excel time

A
  • slow early LV with decreased LV compliance
  • dyspnea
  • moderate impairment
  • enlarged and hypocontractile
  • increased
  • 160-200ms
29
Q

What is a common clue to the presence of grade 2 as compared to normal diastolic function is …

A

LA enlargement
LV hypertrophy
Dyspnea

30
Q

In grade 2 what process is done first distinguish pseudonormal from normal as well as e to e prime ratio ?

A

Valsalva maneuver

31
Q

In grade 3 of diastolic dysfunction
- what happens?
- signs and symptoms
- functional status
- left atrium
- filling pressures
- decel time

A
  • severe decrease in LV compliance and slow early LV relaxation
  • dyspnea
  • impairment
  • enlarged and hypocontractile
  • increased
  • <160ms
32
Q

What happens in grade 4 ?
- e/a ratio
-

A

Indicates a poor prognosis and very elevated left atrial canal pressures
- >2.0

33
Q

What does the valsalva maneuver do?
- what does it permit?

A

Increased intrathoracic pressure and this reduces venous return to the atrium
- the unmasking (hidden) elevated filling pressures

34
Q

Valsalva maneuver unmasks diastolic dysfunction and alters pseudonormal filling into______

A

Impaired relaxation

35
Q

To perform valsalva have the patient __________

A

Bear down

36
Q

The valsalva maneuver if effective once you see a rise in _____

A

Heart rate

37
Q

What does tissue Doppler measure ?

A

Slow speeds of muscle and tissue movements

38
Q

What does PW Doppler measure?

A

Faster speeds of blood

39
Q

A stiff heart will have a _____ speed of muscle relaxation

A

Slower

40
Q

In diastolic dysfunction we use TDI to specifically measure the speed of the left ventricular muscle relaxation during _____

A

Diastole

41
Q

In TDI the motions of the MV annulus mirrors ____ and _____ events

A

Systolic and diastolic

42
Q

In TDI of MV the annulus moves towards _____ during ____

A

Apex
Systole

43
Q

In TDI of the MV , the annulus moves ______ the atrium during _____

A

Q

In TDI the E’ and A’ waves are ______ the baseline

A

Below

45
Q

What is the main limitation for performing echo for diastolic dysfunction?

A
