Q

What is the duty factor?

A

The duty factor is the fraction of time that an ultrasound pulse is actually being produced.

AKA Percentage of time the machine is sending out pulses

If the ultrasound is produced as a continuous wave (CW), the duty factor will have a value of 1. Intensity and power are proportional to the duty factor.

Q

What is a pulse repetition period?

A

Pulse repetition period (PRP):

Time from the beginning of one pulse to the beginning of the next.

Usually expressed in microseconds (µs). PRP decreases as PRF increases. More pulses occur in a second, less time from one to the next.

Q

If you decrease the spatial pulse length will lead to Improvement in what resolution?

What is equation for spatial pulse length?

Q

Where would you look for the most repairable mitral valve scallop lesion?

A

ME LAX = P2 scallop

20
Q

What scallops of the mitral valve are seen in the ME LAX view?

A

A2 (other unlabeled) and P2 (green arrow)

21
Q

What omniplane is the RV inflow view obtained?

A

Insert the probe to the stomach, sector depth 12cm, angle 0°

From mid TG SAX (0°) turn probe right to put RV in center

Rotate omniplane angle to 90° - 120 degrees

Anteflex until RV is horizontal

22
Q

How do you estimate LVEDP on echo?

A

Duration of Pulmonary Venous Arterial Wave Reversal (AREV - Duration)

AR REV = Pulmonary Venous atrial reversal vs. Transmitral A wave

23
Q

If a patient has Deceleration time of 467 ms, Lateral E’ velocity of 5.0 cm/sec and Vp of 30 cm/sec

What is the diastolic function?

A

Impaired Relaxation

24
Q

How do you use deceleration time to calculate the Mitral Valve area?

A

The time from the Vmax to the where the velocity is equal to zero is the deceleration time. Typically, the curve will have to be extrapolated to the zero velocity.

The mitral valve area = 759 / Deceleration time

25
Q

How do you use pressure half time to calculate the Mitral Valve area?

A

Mitral valve area = 220 /PHT.

26
Q

What is the most common type of VSD?

A

Membranous

27
Q

Is PISA for MR more accurate with TTE or TEE?

A

TEE > TTE

28
Q

Is MR calcs more accurate with TTE or TEE?

A

TEE

29
Q

Is Vena Contracta for MR more accurate with TTE or TEE?

A

TEE

30
Q

When you use PISA to calculate AI, what is a scenario when you could underestimate the severity of AI?

A

Dilated Aorta

31
Q

What % of patient’s have trace to mild TR?

A

>70%

32
Q

Why is the dimensionless index valuable?

A
  1. Eliminates erros resulting in measurement of LVOT diameter
  2. Independent of size of the patient
33
Q

What population is indexing the aortic valve area to BSA less accurate?

A

Obese individuals

34
Q

What is the main mechanism of Rheumtaic Mitral Stenosis?

A

Commissural Fusion

35
Q

For stenotic left sided lesions, what gradient do we use to quantify severity?

A

Mean gradients

36
Q

Planimetry of the mitral leaflet tips to diagnose mitral stenosis should be performed during?

A

Mid-Diastole

37
Q

How is PHT affected by Mitral Stenosis with diastolic dysfunction?

(Over or under estimation and why?)

A

Diastolic dysfunction causes overestimation of stenosis when there is impaired relaxation abnormality

38
Q

Whaat is the mean pressure gradient in hemodynamically significant tricuspid stenosis?

A

>5 mmHg

39
Q

Whaat is the VTI in hemodynamically significant tricuspid stenosis?

A

40
Q

Whaat is the PHT in hemodynamically significant tricuspid stenosis?

A

>190 ms

42
Q

What is the best view for measuring FAC for RV?

A

43
Q

What is the best view of the anterior and inferior walls of the RV?

A

44
Q

Which RV function is least dependent on loading conditions?

A

Isovolumic Acceleration

45
Q

How does transtricuspid inflow peak velocities change during tamponade during inspiration of spontaneously breathing patient?

A

46
Q

How would a valsalva manuever in a patient with normal diastolic function change your E and A waves?

A

Equal reduction in E and A wave velocity

47
