SUCCESS.
What valve separates the areas of greatest pressure
differences? - correct answer- Mitral valve
What valve separates the areas of the lowest pressure
differences? - correct answer- Tricuspid valve
Where does the LAD lie on the heart? - correct answer-
Anterior interventricular groove (sulcus)
What aortic cusp is superior in PLAX view? - correct answer-
RCC
What aortic cusp is posterior in PLAX view? - correct answer-
NCC
From the left parasternal window which of the following are you
most likely to get accurate velocity measurments? - correct
answer- Pulmonary artery
,2 | Page
What view gives the most accurate velocities of the
PV/pulmonary artery? - correct answer- PSAX; short axis
What is the red flow traveling to the RA that you can sometimes
see from the inflow view? - correct answer- IVC
What are the tricuspid leaflets seen in the inflow view? - correct
answer- anterior and posterior
Where is the LAA located on TTE? - correct answer-
Sometimes can be seen in AV level short axis, but is better
visualized in an apical 2 chamber view
The coronary arteries come off the: - correct answer- Sinuses
of Valsalva
What is the most anomalous artery? - correct answer- Right
coronary
,3 | Page
During which phase do the coronaries fill? - correct answer-
early diastole
True/False --- The coronary arteries can fill during systole -
correct answer- False
When is TAPSE measured? - correct answer- Between end
diastole and peak systole
This is the transition between the sinuses of Valsalva and the
tubular portion of the ascending aorta - correct answer- STJ
(sinotubular junction)
What can sometimes be seen below the RPA in a SSN view? -
correct answer- Left atrium
The best images of the ascending aorta are often obtained from
which transducer window? - correct answer- suprasternal
, 4 | Page
Name the vessels coming off the arch and most proximal or
distal. - correct answer- Innominate (proximal), left carotid and
left subclavian (distal)
What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic
valves? - correct answer- Coarctation of the aorta
Which window do you use to look for the secondary finding in
bicuspid valves? - correct answer- Suprasternal arch;
suprasternal notch
Where do most aortic coarctations occur? - correct answer-
aortic isthmus
How can we specifically identify the location of an aortic
isthmus? - correct answer- After the take-off of the left
subclavian artery
Where are the pulmonary veins located? Where are they best
visualized? - correct answer- Feed into the LA and are best
visualized in 4 chamber
