Misc.
100
This is inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart.
What is pericarditis?
100
This is a congenital abnormality characterized by unifocal attachment of the mitral chordae tendinae to a single papillary muscle group.
What is parachute mitral valve?
100
Name 3 of the most common indications we see for a TEE.
What is...
1. blood clots/ a-fib
2. valvular heart disease
3. infective endocarditis
100
This is a small flaplike opening in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart that typically causes no symptoms and rarely requires treatment.
What is patent foramen ovale?
100
This appears as an anechoic fluid collection in the abdominal cavity, typically surrounding the liver and sometimes extending into the pericardial region
What is ascites?
200
This pericardial disease often occurs with or due to pericarditis if left untreated.
What is pericardial effusion?
200
This type of valve replacement lasts 20-30 years, but the patient has to be on blood thinners for the remainder of their life.
What is mechanical MV replacement?
200
Name the mitral valve scallops visualized in the midesophageal commissural view. This view is achieved at a transducer angle of 50-70 degrees.
What are A1,A2,A3,P1 and P3?
200
This is a long term complication of an unrepaired heart condition that is life threatening in which there is irregular blood flow in the heart and lungs.
What is Eisenmenger Syndrome?
200
This can be caused by intense endurance/strength training which tends to increase the size and wall thickness of the heart.
What is Athlete's Heart?
300
This pericardial disease is often associated with a lateral e' velocity lower than the medial e' velocity known as annulus reversus
What is constrictive pericarditis?
300
This type of heart disease is caused by endocardial deposition of fibrotic plaques that extend into the right-sided valve leading to multiple patterns of severe valve dysfunction such as annular constriction, leaflet thickening, and fusion of the subvalvular apparatus. (TR/TS and PS)
What is Carcinoid heart disease?
300
Name the coronary cusps in this image and where they are located.
What is non-coronary cusp (NCC), left coronary cusp (LCC), and right coronary cusp (RCC)?
300
This is a heart rhythm disorder that causes fast, chaotic heartbeats that can be life threatening. Some are born with changes in DNA that cause this or it can occur later in life due to health conditions, certain medications, or changes in the level of body minerals.
What is Long QT syndrome?
300
This type of heart disease can damage the blood vessels and nerves in the heart due to hyperglycemia and increases your chances of developing CAD, heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
What is Diabetic Heart Disease?
400
This pericardial disease can be associated with pulsus paradoxus, a phenomenon where there is a decrease of 10 mmHg or greater in systolic BP when a patient inhales.
What is cardiac tamponade?
400
Name this heart valve.
What is the Bjork-Shiley Monostrut tilting disk valve?
400
A bicaval view is seen in the midesophagus and includes structures such as LA, IAS, SVC and IVC. What transducer angle range is best to visualize these structures?
What is a transducer angle of 90-110 degrees.
400
This is a condition is which part of the main artery or its branches form a complete ring around the trachea and esophagus that can cause difficulty breathing and swallowing and needs surgery to correct.
What is vascular rings?
400
This could be an image of a device used for medication administration.
What is a port catheter?
500
This is a short passage within the pericardial cavity that is formed during the folding of the heart tube in embryo development.
What is the Transverse Pericardial sinus?
500
This device features a self-expanding nitinol frame and intra-annular sealing skirt allowing it to conform to the native valve anatomy and effectively eliminate regurgitation.
What is the EVOQUE transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement?
500
When setting up 3D of the mitral valve and the cardiologist asks you to make the sector box larger to visualize the annulus and parts of the papillary muscles, what will drastically decrease? Think back to physics.
What is temporal resolution?
500
This adult congenital heart abnormality can also be called preexcitation syndrome.
What is Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome?
500
This type of MAC is best described in particular on TEE as a well-defined, echo-dense mass with central echolucency surrounded by a calcified envelope at the posterior periannular region of the mitral valve.
What is Caseous MAC?
