DETAILED ANSWERS
What valvular lesion is associated with early closure of the mitral valve? -
CORRECTANSWER Aortic Insufficiency
*What parameters are used to assess the severity of pulmonic valve stenosis? -
CORRECTANSWER Peak Velocity and Peak Gradient
MILD. peak velocity <3 m/s. peak gradient <36 mmHg. right ventricular systolic pressure
25-49 mmHg. ...
MODERATE peak velocity 3-4 m/s. peak gradient 36-64 mmHg. ...
SEVERE. peak velocity >4 m/s. peak gradient >64 mmHg.
52 to 72 -CORRECTANSWER *What is the normal range for ejection fraction in males?
*What is the largest and mostly apically positioned valve in the heart? -
CORRECTANSWER tricuspid
, A 63 year old male has a left ventricular EF of 35%, mitral valve E/A ratio 2.3 and E/e
ratio of 12 and tricuspid peak regurgitant velocity of 2.6 m/s what is the grade of
diastolic dysfunction in this patient? -CORRECTANSWER Grade III
(if E/A is > 2 then always grade III)
Where is the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve located in the image -
CORRECTANSWER
Pulse Repetition frequency of the system -CORRECTANSWER The Nyquist limit of
pulsed doppler is dependent upon which of the following?
which anatomic defects are associated with Tetralogy of Fallot -CORRECTANSWER 1.
ventricular septal defect (VSD)
2. overriding aorta
3. pulmonary stenosis /anomalous pulmonary veins
4. right ventricular hypertrophy (RV hypertrophy)
*A follow-up echo is ordered on a patient diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
What findings would be MOST RELEVANT from the previous study? choose 2 ; -
CORRECTANSWER 1. abnormal movements in the walls of the left ventricle.
2. ballooning of the lower part of the left ventricle (apex).
