NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC IMAGING

Question 1

KIND OF ECHO VIEW:

Transducer: LEFT sternal edge; 2-4th intercostal space

Marker dot: towards Right shoulder

Answer 1

Parasternal LONG axis view (PLAX view)

Question 2

KIND OF ECHO VIEW:

Transducer: LEFT sternal edge; 2-4th intercostal space

Marker dot: towards LEFT shoulder (90 degrees CLOCKWISE from PLAX view)

Answer 2

Parasternal SHORT axis view

Question 3

imaging modality of choice detection for PERICARDIAL EFFUSION

Answer 3

2D Echo

• black echolucent ovoid structure surrounding the heart
• dilated IVC
• collapsed RA and RV

Question 4

Definitive diagnosis of suspected AORTIC DISSECTION

Answer 4

TEE (transesophageal echo)

Question 5

Visualization of:
Proximal Ascending Aorta
Distal Descending Aorta
Arch

Answer 5

Transthoracic approach

Question 6

useful for low velocity flow

Answer 6

DOPPLER ECHO- PULSED WAVE

ex. MV flow

Question 7

useful for HIGH velocity flow

Answer 7

DOPPLER ECHO - CONTINUOUS WAVE

- ex. aortic stenosis

Question 8

diagram that shows the positions of its structures change during the course of the cardiac cycle

Answer 8

M Mode Echo

Question 9

TRUE/FALSE

the M mode echo permits the measurement of cardiac dimensions and motion patterns

Answer 9

TRUE

Question 10

TRUE/FALSE

the M mode echo does not facilitate analysis of time relationships with other physiologic variable?

Answer 10

FALSE

• facilitate analysis of time relationships with other physiologic variable such as ECG and HEART SOUNDS

Question 11

Uses ultrasound reflecting of moving RBC to measure the velocity of blood flow

Answer 11

Doppler Echo

Question 12

Uses different colors to indicate the direction of blood flow

Answer 12

Doppler Echo

RED- towards the tranducer
Blue- away from tranducer
Green- superimposed due to turbulent flow

Question 13

Primary indications are:

1. confirm the suspicion of IHD
2. determine extent of ischemia

Answer 13

Stress Echocardiography
