The coronary arteries come off of the.. - CORRECT ANSWER- Sinus of Valsalva
Name the vessels coming off the arch and the most proximal or distal. - CORRECT
ANSWER- Innominate (proximal), left carotid, and the left subclavian (distal)
What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valves? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Coarctation of the Aorta
Where do the most aortic Coarctation occur? - CORRECT ANSWER- After the take-off of
the left subclavian artery, or within the aortic isthmus
Where are the pulmonary veins loca? Which ones are seen in this view? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Rights and left superior (upper) pulmonary veins

To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the transducer.. -
CORRECT ANSWER- Posterior
During which phase do the coronaries fill? - CORRECT ANSWER- early diastole
Where is the chiari network located? - CORRECT ANSWER- RA
What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial systole? - CORRECT
ANSWER- A wave
, Know frequency for TEE probes versus TTE - CORRECT ANSWER- TTE probes are
usually higher 5-7MGz, while TTE probes are 2-7MHz
At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? - CORRECT ANSWER- 40-45C

degrees. - CORRECT ANSWER- 4ch- 0 degrees

What is the normal duration for the QRS complex? - CORRECT ANSWER- 0.10 sec
Frank-Sterling Law - CORRECT ANSWER- Increased volume= increased contractility
RUBBER BAND THEORY

Chronic AI is failure when we drop off the end
