What tricuspid valve leaflets are noted in PLAX? - correct answers -Anterior and
medial/septal posterior.
Formula for calculating EF? - correct answers -EF% = (sv/edv) x 100%
Stroke Volume (SV) formula - correct answers -EDV - ESV
,What is stroke volume (SV)? - correct answers -Amount of blood pumped out of each
ventricle during a single heart beat.
What is the chiari network? - correct answers -Network of fibers originating from
eustachian valve.
Where can the chiari network be found - correct answers -Right atria
What is the most anterior chamber of the heart? - correct answers -Right ventricle
Which pair of intensities has the lowest value? - correct answers -SATA (spatial
average and temporal average)
Where is the Eustachian valve located ? - correct answers -In between the IVC and the
right atrium.
What's another name for the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) ? - correct answers
-Infundibulum
Where is the coronary sinus located in relation to the descending aorta? - correct
answers -Anterior
The three cusps of the tricuspid valve are? - correct answers -Anterior
Medial
Posterior
What's the two main layers of the pericardium? - correct answers -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 ? - correct answers -25/5 mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the pulmonary artery? - correct answers -25/10 mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the left atrium? - correct answers -10mmHg
What is the normal pressure for the aorta ? - correct answers -120/80 mmHg
What are the two cusps of the mitral valve ? - correct answers -Anterior (long) and the
posterior (short)
When is the left ventricular pressure the lowest? - correct answers -Early diastole
, What is Becks Triad and what does it cause? - correct answers -AKA cardiac
tamponade. Causes an elevated pressure in heart, hypotension and a quiet heart
What are the effects of pulmonary HTN ? - correct answers -Dilated pulmonary artery
Severe TR
RV dilation

increases

What is the normal O2 saturation of the left heart ? - correct answers -98%
What is cardiac output? - correct answers -It is the total amount of blood ejected per
minute.
*cardiac output = stroke volume x HR
*normal cardiac output = 4-8 liters/minute

has shortness of breath
What part of the heart is affected when there is pulmonary edema ? - correct answers -
Left side of heart
What is the primary cause of Congestive Heart Failure? - correct answers -Systolic
dysfunction.
What part of the heart is affected when there is peripheral edema? - correct answers -
Right side of the heart
When the foremen ovale closes after birth due to increased left atrial pressure the spot
it was located is now called? - correct answers -Fossa ovalis
Mitral regurge hemodynamic evaluation is done in ? - correct answers -Systole
Aortic stenosis evaluation is done in? - correct answers -Systole
Tricuspid stenosis evaluation is done in ? - correct answers -Diastole
What is Dresslers syndrome ? - correct answers -Pericardial effusion after myocardial
infarction
Is left atrial thrombus common in patients with mitral stenosis? - correct answers -Yes,
especially in appendage
