EXAM- Labster: Introduction to
Echocardiography; Questions & Answers 100%
Pass
Which of the following things are important to think about when using Doppler?
Correct Answer-Doppler is angle-dependent and it is therefore important
that the cursor is parallel to the blood flow. If not the measurements will be
falsely low.
Which of the following methods are used to assess the systolic function of the
right ventricle? Correct Answer-M-Mode and Tissue Doppler
Is there any other valve function we can assess in this projection? Correct
Answer-Yes, the pulmonary valve.
Does the velocity of the valve prove an issue with the patient's heart?
Correct Answer-No, since it is within the normal values 0..6-0.9m/s
Which one of these can be used to assess if there is any stenosis or regurgitation
of the mitral valve? Correct Answer-Press color and place the color box over
the mitral valve to visually assess its function.
Now that you are done with every measurement in the 4-chamber view, how
would you achieve the apical five-chamber view? Correct Answer-The
transducer is tilted a bit
Have a good look at the projection. How would you visually assess the left
ventricular systolic function? Look at the difference in ventricular size between
systole and diastole. Correct Answer-Moderately reduced
