3. Symptoms, blood pressure fall, or significant arrhythmia.
,4. Positive result obtained, which is defined as:
A. An increase in AVA to a final area >1 cm2
B. AS jet velocity ≥4 m/sec or mean gradient >30-40 mm Hg
C. Absence of contractile reserve (failure to increase the stroke volume by
>20%).
What is duty factor? And how does changing depth affect this?
Ans- The percentage of time that the ultrasound system is transmitting sound
(pulses). More depth decreases duty factor
