If the peak velocity of the E wave on the mitral tracing is 1.2m/s and the tissue Doppler
assessment of the septal annulus indicates a peak velocity of E' of 6cm/s, the LV diastolic
filling pressures are ________________.
decreased
increased
unable to be estimated
without more information
normal - CORRECT ANSWERS increased
1.2m/s = 120cm/s
E/E' = 120/6 = 20
E/E' <8 is normal, >15 indicates increased LV filling pressures
All of the following correctly describe end diastolic pressure in the left ventricle, except:
is normally at least 3X the right ventricular diastolic pressure
it is elevated with moderate - severe aortic insufficiency

it is equivalent to the mean left atrial pressure
it is defined as LV preload - CORRECT ANSWERS is normally at least 3X the right ventricular
diastolic pressure
Left ventricular diastolic pressure is equivalent to the mean left atrial pressure. LV preload is
defined as the diastolic pressure in the left ventricle. Significant AI will increase the diastolic
pressure in the left ventricle. The diastolic pressure in the normal RV is usually less than
5mmHg below the LV diastolic pressure.
The least common type of ASD seen in patients today is?
septum primum
septum secundum
sinus venosus
coronary sinus defect - CORRECT ANSWERS coronary sinus defect
Which of the following patients would benefit from a TEE exam?
Suspected IVC thrombus
Muscular VSD at the left ventricular apex
St Jude AVR with suspected stenosis

After you complete an echo, you are creating the preliminary report and need to score the
systolic motion of the wall segments. If the basal inferior wall was akinetic, what score will
you give this segment?
0
2
3
4 - CORRECT ANSWERS 3
Wall Motion Scoring used to grade systolic wall function. Score Index calculated by adding
the scores from the walls and dividing by the number of segments.
1 = Normal or hyperdynamic
2 = Hypokinesis
3 = Akinesis
4 = Dyskinesis
5 = Aneurysmal
Which method of mitral regurgitation assessment is most accurate for evaluating a
mechanical MVR in the apical 4 chamber view?

vena contracta
regurgitant jet area
PISA radius - CORRECT ANSWERS PISA radius
Valve masking limits Doppler evaluation of a mechanical MVR in the apical view. The
masking occurs behind to the valve on the image but the PISA radius is measured above the
valve.
A patient presents for an echo because they have been experiencing positional and
respiratory variation in chest pain. You expect to find which of the following on the exam?
pericarditis
congestive heart failure
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Kawasaki's syndrome - CORRECT ANSWERS pericarditis
When considering treatment options for an aneurysm of the LV, the most important
information the surgeon needs to see in the echo report for consideration is:
