Q

What is Te?

A

Time from QRS (R wave) to E wave (Transmitral inflow velocities)

20
Q

What is the significance of substracting Te’ - E

A

Te’ - TE = Prolonged with impaired relaxation and is strongly dependence on tau = Time constant of LV relaxation

21
Q

What is a normal Te’ - TE measurement?

A

0 - 4 msec

22
Q

When is Te’ - TE unreliable?

A

Arrythmias

Variable HR

Atrial Fibrillation

23
Q

How does the s’ in TDI change in ischemia?

A

Decreased

24
Q

How does the e’ in TDI change in ischemia?

A

Decreased

25
Q

How does the a’ in TDI change in ischemia?

A

Increased

26
Q

How does the e’/a ratio in TDI change in ischemia?

A

Decrease

27
Q

what are the limitations to tissue doppler limitations?

A

Mitral annular disease / tethering

28
Q

What is tissue doppler in cardiac tamponade?

A

Normal

29
Q

What is tissue doppler in constrictive pericarditis?

A

Normal

30
Q

What is annular reversus?

A

Lateral e’ < septal e’

1.24 - 1.3 = Normal ratio, but in this disease, its <0.95!

31
Q

What is the lateral e’ in RICM?

A

e’ < 8 cm/sec

32
Q

What is the lateral e’ in CP?

A

e’ >10 cm/sec

33
Q

MPI is a measure of what function:

Systolic or Diastolic?

A

BOTH!

Systolic and Diastolic

34
Q

What is the formula for MCI?

A

Isovolemic phases / Ejection Time

[IVCT + IVRT] / ET

35
Q

What is the value for MPI?

A

0.39 +/- 0.05 = Normal

“Low number is better”

Ex: Dilated CM has 0.59 +/- 0.1

36
Q

What S’ for the Tricuspid lateral annulus is non-reassuring when assessing right heart function?

A

Right ventricle S’ <10 cm/sec

(This would be concerning in young healthy patient)

37
Q

What is the formula for Isovolumetric acceleration?

A

Vt / Change in time

Vt = Max Isovolumetric Velocity

Change in time = Time it takes to get there

38
Q

Is the RV MPI independent or dependent on loading conditions?

A

RV MPI independent of HR, preload and afterload

39
Q

What is the normal values for IVA?

A

1.4 +/- 0.5 m/s2

40
Q

Is the RV MPI measure systolic or diastolic function?

A

Both

41
Q

What is the formula for MPI?

A

IVCT + IVRT / ET

42
Q

What RV MPI value was found to be predictive of HD instability and mortality after cardiac valvular surgery?

A

> 0.5

43
Q

What is the formula for RV strain?

A

Straing = [Final Length - Initial Length] / Initial length

L2 - L1

44
Q

What is a normal RV strain?

A

Anymore more negative than -20

45
Q

What is the strain rate?

A

Strain / Change in time

(V2-V1) / x
