What is the structure under the arch? - Answers -Right Pulmonary Artery
The formula for calculating EF is: - Answers -EDV-ESV / EDV x 100
Stroke Volume - Answers -EDV-ESV
The LA dimension is measured on M=mode during? - Answers -End -systole
Where are the pulmonary veins located? - Answers -Can be seen in Apical 4 chamber
w/inferior angulation.
How do you bring in the RVIT in PLAX? - Answers -Angle Medial and Inferior from
Aortic Root. TV
How do you bring in the RVOT in PLAX? - Answers -Angle Lateral and Superior from
Aortic root. PV
Where is the Chiari Network located? - Answers -RA
Where is the aortic isthmus located? - Answers -Area between the left subclavian and
the ductus arteriosus(where most coarctations occur)Sinus of Valsalva is the most
common area of dissections).
The ____ is the most anterior chamber of the heart? - Answers -RV
Pulmonary artery is _____, _____ - Answers -anterior, superior
The Eustachian valve is located in the? - Answers -IVC
Can you see the moderator band in the PLAX? - Answers -No- Moderator band is
located in the RV
Where does the moderator band extend? - Answers -From the lower intraventricular
septum to the anterior wall where it joins the papillary muscle.
,Spontaneous chordal rupture more often occurs on which leaflet of the Mitral Valve? -
Answers -Posterior
Also psterior medial papillary muscle
Single blood supply to posterior wall
The heart tube normally loops? - Answers -Anterior and to the right
Where is the coronary sinus located in relation to the descending aorta - Answers -The
coronary sinus is located anterior to the descending aorta. If the coronary sinus is
dilated, it can be mistaken for the descending aorta.
How would you angle to view the coronary sinus in the apical four chamber view? -
Answers -From the apical four chamber you you would angle inferior in order to
visualize the coronary sinus, which is located posterior to the mitral annulus.
Why is it important to know the location of the coronary sinus and the descending
aorta? - Answers -Pericardial Effusions lie posterior to the coronary sinus and anterior
to the descending aorta.
Pleural effusions lie posterior to the descending aorta.
What is another name for the RVOT? - Answers -Infundibulum
Where is the coronary sinus located in the parasternal long axis view? - Answers -The
coronary sinus lies in the posterior AV groove. This groove is located between the LA
and LV walls and lies posterior to be MV. In the parasternal long axis view, the coronary
sinus can sometimes be seen as a small echo free circle.
What would cause the coronary sinus to become dilated? - Answers -The coronary
sinus dialates due to increased pressure in the RA, increased flow to coronary sinus.
Describe the anatomy of the tricuspid valve, including the name and location if each
leaflet. - Answers -Location is between the Right atria and right ventricle.
It has three leaflets: anterior, posterior, and medial or (septal) leaflets.
The names reflect the anatomical relationship to the right ventricle. The medial leaflet is
connected to the septal wall. It's insertion is located closer to the cardiac apex than that
of the anterior mitral valve leaflet.
Name and describe two main layers of the pericardium? - Answers -Often referred to as
2 main layers as visceral and parietal. This visceral layer lies directly upon external
surface of the heart and is commonly referred as the epicardium. The parietal or fibrous
pericardium is the thick outer sac. Pericardial cavity lies between the two layers.
,Name the three major coronary arteries. - Answers -The three major coronary arteries
are the right, left ant descending (LAD), and the circumflex arteries

d) right ventricular free wall.
**RIGHT= inferior, septals, right
Left anterior descending artery - LAD - Answers -a) anterior wall
b) anteroseptal
c) left ventricular apex
**LEFT = anterior, apical, left
The circumflex artery supplies? - Answers -anterolateral and inferolateral walls
The Posterior descending artery ( of the right coronary artery) supplies? - Answers -

The anterior septum and anterior wall of the Left Ventricle is supplied by the? - Answers
-LAD
The anterolateral, lateral and inferolateral walls of the Left Ventricle are supplied by the?
- Answers -Circumflex
The inferior wall of the Left Ventricle and inferior septum are supplied by the? - Answers
