Q

At what level of what anatomy is the basal, mid, and apical levels?

18
Q

What coronary artery does the L Cx give rise to in a L dominant patient?

A

Posterior descending artery

19
Q

What coronary artery perfuses the posteromedial PM?

20
Q

What coronary artery perfuses the anterolateral PM?

A

All of them

21
Q

Hypokinesis

A

Reduced amplitude and velocity of endocardial motion and wall thickening in systole (<5mm) causing a DELAY in the onset of contraction and relaxation

22
Q

Akinesis

A

Absence of inward endocardial motion or wall thickening in systole (<2mm)

23
Q

Dyskinesis

A

Outward bulging of the wall segment in systole and is associated with thin or scarred myocardium

24
Q

What wall motion abnormality occurs with a thin, scarred myocardium?

A

Dyskinesis

25
Q

Aneurysmal

A

Diastolic contour abnormality with dyskinesis

26
Q

What type of wall abnormality occurs in ischemia?

A

Hypokinesis - delay in the onset of contraction and relaxation
