Q

Pick which phase of Diastole this fits for:

  • Occurs right after MV opening, LVP falls below LAP
  • LV volume and LVP increase – contributes to 70-80% of LV filling
  • Filling rate and time of LA to LV flow determined by pressure, ventricular relaxation
    (elastic recoil of LV), and compliance of the ventricles

Pick which phase of Diastole this fits for:

  • Pressures in atria and ventricles equalize during this period of lower ventricular filling
  • Equalization due to simultaneous ↓LAP and ↑LVP
  • Duration depends on HR, longer at low HR and absent with fast HR

Q

What are 3 factors that that Affect Peak Early Diastolic
Filling Rate?

A
  • Changes in preload that affect the initial pressure difference between the ventricle and the atrium (e.g., increased with volume loading, decreased with volume depletion)
  • A change in transmitral volume flow rate (e.g., increased with coexisting mitral regurgitation)
  • A change in atrial pressure (e.g., elevated LV end-diastolic pressure – stiff ventricle)

18
Q

What is S velocity?

A

Forward flow into LA

19
Q

What is the difference between S1 and S2 in LA filling?

A

S1 occurs in early systole, increased PV flow secondary to LA relaxation

S2 occurs mid-late systole due to increased PV pressure from transpulmonary flow after RV systole

20
Q

What is the D velocity in LA filling?

A

Diastolic Pressure Gradient between the Pulmonary Vein and LA, forward flow that mimics transmitral peak E velocity

21
Q

Atrial flow reversal (AR) is the Pressure Gradience of what?

A

The PV and LA following atrial contraction, retrograde flow occuring after the P wave on ECG

22
Q

When looking for the Pulmonary Venous (LA) Filling Doppler Velocity curve, where should the SVB be placed?

A

1-2 from the orifice, parallel alignment with the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV)

23
Q

In Pulmonary Veins, patients over 50 yrs old have prominent ____ velocities? (which letter?)

A

S velocities

24
Q

As age increases, what ratio increases for LA fillin?

A

SD ratio

25
Q

With ‘No increase with inspiration, PV
intrathoracic, not affected’ - which ventricle and which breathing cycle is this true?

A

LV, inspiration

26
Q

With ‘negative intrathoracic pressure
results in an increase in systemic
venous return into the thorax and
thus into the atrium and transient increase in ventricle diastolic filling of up to 20%’ - which ventricle and which breathing cycle is this true?

A

RV, inspiration

27

28
Q

Which ventricle has no increase with expiration?

29
Q

In the early stages of diastolic function, what happens to early rapid filling and atrial contraction?

A

Decreased early rapid filling with an increase in atrial contraction to compensate for poor filling 1st phase

30
Q

What are the abnormal cut off values annular E’ velocity for Lateral E’?

A

A

Heart block or atrial arrhythmia

43
