Cavitation is - Answer The creation or vibration of small gas filled bodies by the ultrasound beam.
(Tends to occur only with higher-intensity exposures.
The 6 intensities from highest to lowest are - Answer 1.) SPTP 4.) SATP
2.)SPPA 5.) SAPA
3.)SPTA 6.) SATA
What tricuspid valve leaflets are noted in PLAX? - Answer Anterior and medial/septal posterior.
Formula for calculating EF? - Answer EF% = (sv/edv) x 100%
Stroke Volume (SV) formula - Answer EDV - ESV
What is stroke volume (SV)? - Answer Amount of blood pumped out of each ventricle during a single
heart beat.
What is the chiari network? - Answer Network of fibers originating from eustachian valve.
Where can the chiari network be found - Answer Right atria
What is the most anterior chamber of the heart? - Answer Right ventricle
,Which pair of intensities has the lowest value? - Answer SATA (spatial average and temporal average)
Where is the Eustachian valve located ? - Answer In between the IVC and the right atrium.
What's another name for the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) ? - Answer Infundibulum
Where is the coronary sinus located in relation to the descending aorta? - Answer Anterior
The three cusps of the tricuspid valve are? - Answer Anterior
Medial
Posterior
What's the two main layers of the pericardium? - Answer 1.) Visceral = lies directly upon external
surface of the heart and is commonly referred to as the epicardium.
2,) Parietal = or fibrous pericardium is the thick outer sac.
*The pericardial cavity lies between these two layers.
What is the normal pressure for the right ventricle ? - Answer 25/5 mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the pulmonary artery? - Answer 25/10 mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the left atrium? - Answer 10mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the aorta ? - Answer 120/80 mmHg
What are the two cusps of the mitral valve ? - Answer Anterior (long) and the posterior (short)
, When is the left ventricular pressure the lowest? - Answer Early diastole
What is Becks Triad and what does it cause? - Answer AKA cardiac tamponade. Causes an elevated
pressure in heart, hypotension and a quiet heart
What are the effects of pulmonary HTN ? - Answer Dilated pulmonary artery
Severe TR
RV dilation
What happens to the size of an aneurysm during systole? - Answer It increases
In patients with A-Fib which heart sound would be missing ? - Answer Fourth
What is the normal O2 saturation of the left heart ? - Answer 98%
What is cardiac output? - Answer It is the total amount of blood ejected per minute.
*cardiac output = stroke volume x HR
*normal cardiac output = 4-8 liters/minute
Effects of left side heart failure - Answer Blood backs up to lungs and patient has shortness of breath
What part of the heart is affected when there is pulmonary edema ? - Answer Left side of heart
What is the primary cause of Congestive Heart Failure? - Answer Systolic dysfunction.
