Valves
Attached to the papillary muscles, who then anchor the entire valve
What is Chordae Tendineae?
Immediately proceeds Diastole
What is the IVRT ( isovolumic relaxation time)
Method which is no longer recommended for acquiring patients EF by measuring chamber volumes

what is TVA= 190/P 1/2 T
Has the most inferior position
what is the Tricuspid Valve?
accounts for 15-30% of ventricular filling
what is end diastole
most posterior chamber
what is the left atrium?
if a patient has a RVSP of 56mmhg according to the severity scale for Pulmonary Hypertension what is it considered
What is moderate PH
__= SV/EDV X 100
WHAT IS EJECTION FRACTION
this is divided into 3 corresponding sections
what is the AMVL (anterior Mitral Valve leaflet)
a heartbeat broken into 4 phases
what is IVRT, Diastole, IVCT, systole
Located within the myocardium and posterior to the left atrioventricular junction
what is the coronary sinus
which degree of MS would a patient be with a P 1/2 T of 38ms and MVA of 5 cm2
what is Normal MV
Normal MVA
what is 4-6 cm2
withdrawal of ventricles, atria unwind, blood powers into the pneumonic conduit and aorta
what is late ventricular systole?
Located posterior to the left atrium and used as a marker for location of free fluid
what is the descending aorta
considered within normal range when measuring the Descending Aorta
what is <3cm
Equation for determining the AVA
Continuity equation (VTI LVOT) (CSA LVOT)= (VTI AOV) (AVA)
AVA=(VTI LVOT) (CSA LVOT)/(VTI AOV)
