Cardiomyopathies
This cardiomyopathy is characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
What is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy?
This is the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults.
What is a myxoma?
This congenital defect consists of VSD, overriding aorta, RVH, and RV outflow obstruction.
What is Tetralogy of Fallot?
This Doppler measurement is used to assess early ventricular relaxation.
What is the E wave?
This pericardial disease occurs when intrapericardial fluid pressure impairs cardiac filling.
What is cardiac tamponade?
This cardiomyopathy is the most common type and typically presents with a dilated left ventricle and reduced ejection fraction.
What is dilated cardiomyopathy?
This benign pediatric cardiac tumor is strongly associated with tuberous sclerosis.
What is a rhabdomyoma?
A Qp:Qs greater than 1 is expected with this shunt direction.
What is a left-to-right shunt?
An average E/e′ ratio greater than this value suggests elevated left atrial pressure.
What is 10 or 14?
This respiratory finding is commonly seen in constrictive pericarditis.
What is ventricular interdependence or exaggerated respiratory variation in inflow velocities?
This type of imaging modility is to be used when assessing a patient with the "ground-glass appearance".
What is Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS)?
This type of mass formation is located on the IAS and gives a dumbbell shaped appearance.
What is Lipomatous Hypertrophy?
This congenital lesion is characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve.
What is Ebstein anomaly?
This pulmonary vein finding supports elevated filling pressures.
What is systolic blunting or systolic flow reversal?
Something you must due when ruling out Constrictive Pericarditis.
What is respirometer with mitral inflows?
This finding helps differentiate constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy on tissue Doppler imaging.
What is preserved or increased medial e′ velocity (annulus reversus)?
This type of tumor creates an LVOT Obstruction.
What is a Cardiac Fibroma?
This Congenital heart defect is categorized by inverted ventricles.
What is L-TGA?
According to ASE guidelines, these four variables are used to determine elevated filling pressures in patients with normal EF.
What are E/e′ ratio, TR velocity, LA volume index, and average e′ velocity?
A patient has preserved EF, medial e′ of 12 cm/s, lateral e′ of 8 cm/s, marked respiratory variation in mitral inflow, hepatic vein expiratory diastolic flow reversal, and a septal bounce.
What is constrictive pericarditis?
This cardiomyopathy mimics a myocardial infarction
What is sarcoidosis?
These are the most common malignant tumors involving the heart overall.
What are metastatic tumors?
This defect is commonly associated with an ostium primum ASD.
What is a cleft MV?
TR vmax: 4.2
LAVI: 38 ml/m^2
E/A Ratio :1.9
E/e' = 13
What is Grade 2?
During inspiration in constrictive pericarditis, the interventricular septum moves in this direction due to ventricular interdependence.
What is leftward movement toward the left ventricle (septal bounce)?
