Answers Already Passed
Question: What is the primary purpose of an echocardiogram in a clinical setting?


Answer: ✔✔ An echocardiogram is used to visualize and assess the heart's structure and

function, including the size and shape of the heart, the movement of the heart's walls, and the

function of heart valves.




Question: Which echocardiographic view is typically used to assess the left ventricle's ejection

fraction?


Answer: ✔✔ The apical four-chamber view is commonly used to evaluate the left ventricle's

ejection fraction and overall cardiac function.




Question: What are the key differences between a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and a

transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)?


Answer: ✔✔ A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is performed with the transducer placed on

the chest wall, while a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) involves inserting a probe into the

esophagus to obtain closer and more detailed images of the heart structures.




Question: How is doppler echocardiography used in evaluating heart conditions?


1

,Answer: ✔✔ Doppler echocardiography measures the direction and speed of blood flow through

the heart's chambers and valves, helping to assess conditions like valve stenosis, regurgitation,

and abnormal blood flow patterns.




Question: What is the role of contrast agents in echocardiography?


Answer: ✔✔ Contrast agents enhance the visualization of cardiac structures and improve the

assessment of myocardial perfusion, chamber volumes, and endocardial borders, especially in

patients with poor image quality.




Question: Which echocardiographic view is best for assessing the aortic valve and aortic root?


Answer: ✔✔ The parasternal long-axis view is optimal for evaluating the aortic valve and aortic

root, allowing clear visualization of these structures and the surrounding area.




Question: What are some common indications for performing an echocardiogram?


Answer: ✔✔ Common indications include evaluating symptoms such as shortness of breath or

chest pain, assessing heart valve function, diagnosing heart disease, monitoring congenital heart

defects, and evaluating the effects of cardiac treatments.




Question: What can be identified using the echocardiographic "M-mode" technique?



2

,Answer: ✔✔ M-mode echocardiography provides a one-dimensional view of the heart

structures, allowing precise measurement of chamber dimensions, wall thickness, and heart valve

motion over time.




Question: How does an echocardiogram assist in the management of heart failure?


Answer: ✔✔ An echocardiogram helps diagnose the underlying causes of heart failure, such as

reduced ejection fraction or valve dysfunction, and guides treatment decisions and monitoring of

the condition’s progression.




Question: What is the significance of assessing the right ventricle in echocardiography?


Answer: ✔✔ Evaluating the right ventricle is important for diagnosing conditions like right

ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, and assessing the overall function of the right

heart in various cardiac diseases.




Which valve separates the areas of greatest pressure differences? ✔✔Mitral valve




Where does the LAD lie? ✔✔In the anterior interventricular groove (sulcus).




What service does the epicardial fat pad provide for the heart? ✔✔Protects the main coronaries.


3

, Which aortic leaflet is the superior one in the PLAX? ✔✔Right coronary cusp




From the left parasternal window which of the following are you most likely to get accurate

velocity measurements?

A. LVOT

B. Aortic stenosis

C. Pulmonary artery


D. Mitral regurgitation ✔✔C. Pulmonary artery




Which tricuspid leaflets are shown in the parasternal RVIF view? ✔✔Posterior and anterior




Where is the LAA seen on TTE? ✔✔Sometimes PSAX AoV level


Usually better in Apical 2




What do the coronary arteries come off of? ✔✔Sinuses of Valsalva




During which phase do the coronaries fill? ✔✔Early diastole
