SUCCESS!!
Cavitation is - answer--The creation or vibration of small gas filled
bodies by the ultrasound beam.. This tends to occur only with higher-
intensity exposures, and may result in implosion of the bubbles within
the body.
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/PSLA inflow? - answer--
Anterior and septal leaflets, most commonly.
Formula for calculating EF? - answer--EF% = (SV/EDV) x 100%
Stroke Volume (SV) formula - answer--SV= EDV - ESV
What is stroke volume (SV)? - answer--Amount of blood pumped out of
each ventricle during a single heart beat/cardiac cycle.
,What is the chiari network? - answer--Network of fibers originating
from eustachian valve. Remnant of embryonic sinus venous around the
inlet of the IVC.
Where can the chiari network be found - answer--Right atrium,
originating from the inlet of IVC
What is the most anterior chamber of the heart? - answer--Right
ventricle
Which pair of intensities has the lowest value? - answer--SATA (spatial
average, 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/"above" in PLAX/PSLA
,The three cusps of the tricuspid valve are? - answer--Anterior (free wall
side)
Medial/septal (smallest)
Posterior
What are 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. These layers are
continous with each other
What is the normal pressure for the right ventricle ? - answer--25/5
mmHg (a/mean)
What is the normal pressure for the pulmonary artery? - answer--
25/10/15 mmHg (sys/diast/mean)
What is the normal pressure for the left atrium (PCWP/PAWP)? -
answer--10mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the aorta ? - answer--120/80/95 mmHg
(sys/diast/mean)
, 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 indicate? - answer--JVD,
hypotension and a "quiet heart". indicative of cardiac tamponade.
What are the effects of pulmonary HTN ? - answer--Dilated pulmonary
artery, Increased TR , RV dilation/hypertrophy, septal flattening (mainly
systole, pressue)
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--
S4, atrial gallop
What is the normal O2 saturation of the left heart ? - answer--98%, (95-
100%)
