Q

before you measure what 4 things should you do

A

1) look at proportions
2) optimise 2D
3) heel toe the probe to swing the structure of interest for measurement
4) ensure endocardium is clear

Q

Simpsons Biplane EF

A
  • aka method of disks
  • uses two orthogonal diameters to create disks throughout the traced LV or LA volumes placed at 5mm intervals
  • volumes are calculated from the tracings and the EJECTION FRACTION is calculates
    AVERAGES THE TRACING IN THE A4C AND A2C END-DIASTOLE ADN END-SYSTOLE TRACINGS TO CREATE EF

Q

4 tips for tracing in all 4 apical views

A

1) trace from one side of the MV annulus around the endocardium to the other side of the annulus
2) do not trace through pap muscles
+ is trace around them would underestimate chamber size
3) adjust vertical axis from the middle of the MV annulus diameter to the apex
4) reduce depth to just past the MV annulus

Q

adjusting the vertical axis tips

A
  • be parallel to the long axis of the chamber
    + draw a line from the middle of the MV annulus to the apex
  • IVS angle can be used as a guide to visualize the long axis

Q

Step 1 - trace LV in A4C at end diastole

A
  • trace endocardial border
  • trace straight through pap muscles
  • align LV apex before tracing

Q

step 3 - trace LV in A2C at end diastole

A
  • annulus to annulus trace

Q

step 4 - trace LV in A2C at end systole

A
  • trace with same method as others
  • final click should bring up the volumes and biplane EF for A4C and A2C
  • the 2 are then average

Q

biplane LA volume NOT SIMPSONS

A
  • measure the volume of the LA in 2 orthogonal planes by tracing left atrium area in APICAL 4 CHAMBER and APICAL 2 CHAMBER
20
Q

when do we trace LA

A

only in end systole when it is its largest

21
Q

LA tracing tips

A
  • exclude pulmonary veins from tracing
  • trace from one LA side fo the MV annulus to the other
  • align the vertical axis from the middle of the MV annular diameter to the roof of the LA
22
Q

adjust the vertical axis of the LA

A
  • the vertical axis contributes the length measurement t the method of discs
23
Q

steps to calculate LA biplane volume

A

1) trave LA in A4C end systole

2) trace LA in A2C endy systole

24
Q

step 1 - trace LA in apical 4 chamber at end systole

A
  • optimize 2D
  • mat use zoom
  • trace at end systole
    + should near end of T wave on ECG
    + CANNOT use same image in the LV EF image
25
Q

step 2 - trace the LA in apical 2 chamber at end systole

A
  • exclude pulmonary viens
  • optimize 2D
  • upon last click the area and volume/volume index should appear on screen
26
Q

LAVI

A

left atrium volume index

27
Q

normal LAVI

A

< 32 ml/m^2

if over LAE (left atrial enlargement) may have occurred

36
Q

RV internal dimension in diastole (RVIDd)

A
  • measure right ventricle at end diastole

+ rotate probe till RV is at its largest

37
Q

RVIDd base

A
  • basal 1/3 of the RV

- just inferior to the TV leaflets

38
Q

RVIDd mid

A
  • mid way down the RV from the IVS to the RV free wall
39
Q

normal RVIDd base

A

< 41mm

40
Q

normal RVIDd mid

A

< 35mm

41
Q

Right atrium dimension systole

A
  • same timing as LA end systole
  • measure across the RA in apical 4 chamber
  • usually measure mid level to the orange line in the RA perpendicular to the long axis of the RA
  • horisontal line should be equidistant on either side to the TV
42
Q

normal RA dimension systole

A

= 44mm

43
Q

RA volume index

A
  • rotate the probe until the RV and RA is the largest still in the apical 4 chamber view
  • trace the entire RA chamber
  • cut straight across at the TV annulus

A
