VERIFIED ANSWERS LEARNING PACKAGE
●● **What is the severity of a TR waveform with a dense, triangular
CW jet and a vena contracta measuring of 0.9 cm
Answer: Severe
TR vena contracta (VC) of >0.7 cm identifies severe TR
●● *A follow-up echo is ordered on a patient diagnosed with Takotsubo
cardiomyopathy. What findings would be MOST RELEVANT from the
previous study? choose 2 ;
Answer: 1. abnormal movements in the walls of the left ventricle.
2. ballooning of the lower part of the left ventricle (apex).
●● *During an ultrasound examination adjustment of the time-gain
controls compensates for
Answer: Tissue Attenuation
●● *Spectral Analysis displays what components of the Doppler Signal?
Answer: amplitude, time, velocity
,●● *What is one significant benefit of utilizing 3d transthoracic
imaging?
Answer: more accurate ejection fraction and volumes
●● *What is the largest and mostly apically positioned valve in the
heart?
Answer: tricuspid
●● *What is the one advantage of continuous wave (CW) doppler over
pulsed wave (PW) doppler
Answer: maximum measurable velocity
●● *What parameters are used to assess the severity of pulmonic valve
stenosis?
Answer: Peak Velocity and Peak Gradient
MILD. peak velocity <3 m/s. peak gradient <36 mmHg. right ventricular
systolic pressure 25-49 mmHg. ...
MODERATE peak velocity 3-4 m/s. peak gradient 36-64 mmHg. ...
SEVERE. peak velocity >4 m/s. peak gradient >64 mmHg.
●● *what type of mitral regurgitation is caused by mitral valve
prolapse? choose 3 types
Answer: 1. Primary
, 2. Degenerative
3. Organic
(all just different names for primary MVR)
●● *what will decrease the frame rate while utilizing color doppler (2
reponses)
Answer: 1. increase ROI sector width
2. increase image depth
●● *which of the following is a bileaflet tilting disc mechanical valve
Answer: St. Jude
●● 52 to 72
Answer: *What is the normal range for ejection fraction in males?
●● A 63 year old male has a left ventricular EF of 35%, mitral valve E/A
ratio 2.3 and E/e ratio of 12 and tricuspid peak regurgitant velocity of
2.6 m/s what is the grade of diastolic dysfunction in this patient?
Answer: Grade III
(if E/A is > 2 then always grade III)
