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)

QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
*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 (220 /
260)
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%)
What control would be used to increase the gain in the far field of an image without impacting the new
field? - (answer) TGC (time-gain composition)
What echocardiographic window will MOST LIKELY give you the best information regarding left
ventricular function on a barrel-chested individual with emphysema? - (answer) subcostal
Grade the level of diastolic dysfunction observed in each patient. Drage the token into the box to
