, 1. Which Aortic leaflet is the superior one in the PSLA: Right Leaflet
2. Name the tricuspid leaflets: Posterior and Anterior
3. The coronary arteries come off of the..: Sinus of Valsalva
4. Name the vessels coming off the arch and the most proximal or distal.: In- nominate (proximal), left carotid, and
the left subclavian (distal)
5. What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valves?: Coarc- tation of the Aorta
6. Where do the most aortic Coarctation occur?: After the take-off of the left subclavian artery, or within the
aortic isthmus
7. Where are the pulmonary veins loca? Which ones are seen in this view?: -
Rights and left superior (upper) pulmonary veins
8. Where is the coronary sinus located?: Posterior AV groove
9. To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the transducer.. ANSWER Posterior
10. During which phase do the coronaries fill? ANSWER early diastole
11. Where is the chiari network located? ANSWER RA
12. What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial sys- tole? ANSWER A wave
13. Know frequency for TEE probes versus TTE ANSWER TTE probes are usually higher 5-7MGz, while TTE
probes are 2-7MHz
14. At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? ANSWER 40-45C
15. Know TEE views by esophageal level (know mid esophageal- ME and transgastric) and degrees.
ANSWER 4ch- 0 degrees
2ch- 90 degrees
LAX- 120 degrees
16. Why is the SA node the primary pacemaker? ANSWER The SA node has the highest intrinsic rate of any
cardiac tissue.
17. The save of contraction (depolarization) moves from the endocardium to the epicardium. ANSWER Inside
to outside. Look at the purkinje fibers above.
18. What is the absolute refractory state? ANSWER That period when a muscle cell is not excitable- from phase 1
into phase 3; the 'relative refractory period' is during phase 3 and the muscle cell might contract if the stimulus is strong.
19. Know what P wave, P-R interval, T wave represents ANSWER P wave- atrial systole P-R interval- includes
P-R segment (from atrial to ventricular depolarization) QRS complex- ventricular diastole (repolarization)
20. What is the normal duration for the QRS complex? ANSWER 0.10 sec
21. Frank-Sterling Law ANSWER Increased volume= increased contractility RUBBER
BAND THEORY
