GUARANTEED PASS BRAND NEW 2025
What valvular lesion is associated with early closure of the
mitral valve? ANSWER - >Aortic Insufficiency
*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.
52 to 72 ANSWER - >*What is the normal range for ejection
fraction in males?
*What is the largest and mostly apically positioned valve in the
heart? ANSWER - >tricuspid
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)
Where is the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve located in the
image ANSWER - >
, Pulse Repetition frequency of the system ANSWER - >The
Nyquist limit of pulsed doppler is dependent upon which of the
following?
which anatomic defects are associated with Tetralogy of Fallot
ANSWER - >1. ventricular septal defect (VSD)
2. overriding aorta
3. pulmonary stenosis /anomalous pulmonary veins
4. right ventricular hypertrophy (RV hypertrophy)
*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).
*What is one significant benefit of utilizing 3d transthoracic
imaging? ANSWER - >more accurate ejection fraction and
volumes
given a mitral valve pressure half -time of 260 ms the mitral
valve area is ANSWER - >0.85 cm2 ()
A patients tricuspid regurgitation velocity measures 3.5 m/s
and the IVC measures 2.3 cm with greater than 50% inspiratory
collapse. What is the patient's right ventricular systolic
pressure? ANSWER - >4 (3.5 x 3.5 ) + 8mmhg = 57 mmHg
(IVC>2.1 ; Inspiratory collapse>50%)
