CCI Echocardiography Practice
______ is the rate of rise of LV pressure? - dP/dt __________ is the
most common benign tumor in children (slow growing) -
Rhabdomyoma "Ground glass" appearance is related to... (pg. 123)
- infiltrative myocarditis A huge, dilated PA, severe TR and RV
enlargement best describes: - Pulmonary Hypertension A patient
has a RVSP of 60mmHg. One year later the RVSP is 30mmHg.
What happened to the pt? - Coanda effect? A pericardial effusion
can often be seen in patients with... - Renal Failure A restrictive
CM has which of the following? - Decreased LV compliance A
typical ejection fraction in a dilated MC pt might be (for a HCM pt)
- -15-25% Acute AI is hypercontractile because we shift up the
Starling curve - Chronic AI is failure when we drop off the end
Amyloid and sarcoid are what type of cardiac abnormalities? -
Restrictive Amyloid LAX- PV inflow will have _____ systolic velocity
- Low Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (AHCM) - Normal
etiology (genetic) Typical spectral Doppler finding (flow acceleration
in mid LV) At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? -
40-45C Autografts - means using pts own tissue Beck's Triad? 3
options: - a. elevated venous pressure b. Hypotension c. Quiet Heart
Best view to demonstran an ASD? - Subcostal 4ch Blood follows
the path of less resistance. _____ reverses the ______. - Squatting,
shunt Calculate the RVSP in a patient with 5m/sec VSD jet and BP
of 130/80 (beware of distractors like RA pressure!) - VSD jet=
5m/sec SBP= 130mmHg Chaga's disease (Dilated CM)? - posterior
and apical thinning septum usually normal Coanda Effect- Define.
- Wall hugging effect Color Doppler in ischemic disease can be good
, for? - VSD Decreased 'a' wave means.. - PHTN Definition of
Ischemia - Lack of oxygen Dobutamine provides all the following
except responses EXCEPT increasing: - Myocardial perfusion Does a
PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) increase LV preload? - yes (when
shunt L-R) does the wall of a pseudoaneurysm contain
endocardium? - No, it's a rupture across both endo and
myocardium Does venous return increase or decrease with
inspiration? - Increase Dos Inderal (beta blocker) increase SAM? -
No, decreases HR reduces SAM with excercise dP/dt measurement
of mitral regurgitation assesses what? - LV systolic dysfunction
During which phase do the coronaries fill? - early diastole Echo
finding for preload vs. afterload... - Preload= dilatation Afterload=
hypertrophy Endocardial cushion defects (AV septal) are associated
with: - Down syndrome or trisomy 21 flow variation in
tamponade can get a false positive if: - a. unstable sample volume b.
COPD c. pleural effusion Frank-Sterling Law - Increased volume=
increased contractility RUBBER BAND THEORY From where do the
coronaries originate? - In the L and R aortic sinus of Valsalva Given
a TR velocity of 4.0m/sec what is the RVSP? - 70mmHg
Hemochromatosis is... - excess iron Hepatic venous flow reveral
indicates _______ TR. - Severe How many beats to see contrast on
the L side in a patient with an ASD? (with a pulmonary shunt) -
1-2 beats for an ASD. 3-5 beats for a Pulm. shunt If a large PDA
is not corrected what might develop? - Eisenmenger Syndrome If a
pt has a normal MV inflow but Pulm veins showed a decreased S-
wave and D-wave, consider that they might have a ___________
pattern. - pseudonormal If you see an anechoic dropout of the
interatrial septum in the aprical 4ch view what should you do? -
Look in the subcostal 4ch view In Marfan syndrome, why does
aortic dissection and MVP occue? - Connective tissue disorder Inlet
location - subvalvular low near the mitral and tricuspid valves
Know about Marfan's syndrome.. define - Congenital connective
