Right leaflet (the posterior leaflet
Which aortic leaflet is the
is the non coronary)
superior one in the
parasternal long axis view?
From the left parasternal Pulmonary artery
window which of the
following are you most
likely to get accurate
velocity measurements?
Anterior and medial/ septal
In the parasternal short axis
Posterior can only be seen in
view (PSAX), which
RVIT plax
tricuspid leaflets are seen
Sometimes in the parasternal SAX
Aortic Valve level
Where is the LAA on TTE? (Typically seen in the apical 2ch)
Normal LAA Velocity 46 cm/ sec?
Sinuses of Valsalva
The coronary arteries come
off the?
,During which phase do the Early diastole
coronaries fill?
Right pulmonary artery
What is the structure under
the arch?
Coarctation of the aorta (80%)
NOTE: coarctation , MVP, and AO
dissections, bicuspid AOV are all
related to Marfans
What cardiac pathology is
associated with bicuspid
Systolic click ejection= bicuspid
aortic valve?
AoV
Mid Systolic click = MVP
**TURNERS SYNDROME = MVP
AND coarctation
Right and left superior (upper)
pulmonary veins inferior to the LV
Where are the pulmonary
veins located?
NOTE: Can be seen on apical 4
chamber w/ inferior angulation.
Right Atrium
Where is the Chiari network The chiari network is the
(system) located? Fenestrated portion of the
Eustachian valve
it is located in the Right Atrium
What frequency is usually TTE: 2-7 MHz
used for TTE and TEE? TEE: 5-7MHz
At what temperature is it 40-50C or the highest temperature
unsafe to use a TEE probe?
, That period when a muscle cell is not excitable- from
What is absolute refractory phase I until into phase 3 the "relative refractory period"
state? is during phase 3 and the muscle cell might contract if
the stimulus is strong.
Includes P-R segment (from atrial
What does the P-R interval to ventricular depolarization)
represent?
0.10 sec.
What is a normal duration
for the QRS complex?
Acute Aortic Insufficiency Hyper-contractile (Regurgitation increases preload,
or Aortic regurgitation is muscle tension/contractility increases and eventually
_____ because we shift up the results in dilitation, Volume overloads
Starling curve.
Chronic Aortic Insufficiency Failure
or Aortic regurgitation is
_____ when we drop off the
end.
Does a PDA increase Left Yes-when the shunt is Left to Right.
Ventricle preload?
CO=HR x CSA OR CO=SV x HR
Calculate CO: Normal is 4-8 L/min depending on BSA
SV/EDV x 100
What is the Bernoulli 4V2 NOTE: THIS EQUATION IS USED TO CHANGE
equation? VELOCITY TO PRESSURES
(0.5x0.5=.025 and 0.25x4=1
With a velocity of 0.5m/sec 1mmHg NOTE: 4(0.5)2 BORNOULIS EQUATION TO
what is the gradient? CONVERT VELOCITIES TO PRESSURES, ALSO USES THE
4 M/S = 64 mmHg
