all answers that apply.
Date of implantation
Size of Valve
Systemic blood pressure
Prior LV Ejection Fraction
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
The double diamond sign on an M -mode tracing of the MV is indicative of mid
diastolic closure caused by.....
Acute MI
Dressler Syndrome
Pulmonary HTN
Dilated cardiomyopathy
E-F
The slope between which two points of the Doppler tracing of the mitral valve
are used to calculate the pressure half time?
,D-E
E-F
E-A
E/E'
The inability to detect two or more contiguous segments in any three of the apical
windows
Microbubble contrast evaluation of the LV is performed when standard 2D
images are suboptimal. Suboptimal images are defined as:
The inability to detect two or more contiguous segments in any of the apical
windows
The inability to detect two or more contiguous segments in any three of the apical
windows
dp/dt
Which of the following calculations demonstrates the rate of increase in left
ventricle pressure during systolic contraction?
EF %
Qp/Qs
dp/dt
Fractional Shortening
Mitral valve waveform
The image demonstrates a Doppler waveform from the mitral valve, A caliper is
placed on the E peak velocity. The blue dot is placed where the second cursor
would be placed.
,Papillary Muscle
Which of the following should be omitted from the optimal parasternal long axis
view of the left ventricle?
Right ventricular outflow tract
Papillary muscle
Descending Aorta
Coronary sinus
The membranous type of VSD is located at the junction of the left ventricular
outflow tract and the muscular portion of the septum.
Which of the following regarding ventricular septal defects is true?
Pulmonary HTN
In tamponade the RV free wall will collapse in diastole, except in patients with
significant:
Systemic HTN
Pulmonary HTN
tricuspid regurgitation
pericardial effusion
Cardiac output / body surface area
How is the cardiac index calculated ?
Cardiac output / body surface area
, stroke volume / cardiac output
cardiac output / stroke volume
Stroke volume x cardiac output x body surface area

outer edge to inner edge, from the aortic sinus to the posterior atrial wall
Leading edge to leading edge, from the LVOT to the posterior atrial wall
