|
Identify dilated cardiomyopathy characteristics |
~ impaired LV contractility
~ Reduced CO
~ elevated LV ED pressure. |
|
|
Factors related to increased EPSS. |
~ LV dilation
~ reduced mitral leaflet motion, due to low trans mitral flow rates. |
|
|
Acute Chagas disease characteristics |
— LV dilation — WMA — decrease Global systolic function |
|
|
Chronic Chagas disease characteristics. |
— apical hypokinesia / akinesia — apical aneurysm w / w o thrombus formation — dilated CMO — pericardial effusion — MR / TR |
|
|
What is associated with SAM? |
Outflow tract obstruction — MR |
|
|
Obstructive HCM classifications |
Blocked LVOT Unblocked LVOT |
|
|
What cause HCM |
Abnormality related in gene coding for contractile proteins. |
|
|
Similarities btwn Sub aortic obstructive Doppler & MR Doppler signals? |
— high velocity signals — directed away from apex |
|
|
Difference btwn Sub aortic obstructive Doppler & MR Doppler signals? |
Shape - SAO = late peaking velocity - MR = rapid early sys rise in velocity
Timing - SAO = shorter duration - MR = longer in duration |
|
|
Identify the components of dynamic outflow tract obstructions |
- Aortic valve opening early in systole. - Mid systole abrupt partial closure. - Cursor fluttering the AV. - Best seen in M-mode. - AV maybe sclerotic due to long-term turbulent jet hitting the valve leaflets. - Some degree or aortic insufficiency. |
|
|
How is restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized |
— Heart failure with preserved EF — diastolic dysfunction — stiff and thickened myocardium |
|
|
List the characteristics of arrythmogenic RV dysplasia |
RV dilation Sys dysfunction Normal LV Normal pulmonary pressure |
|
|
List the characteristics of LV noncompaction |
Heart failure Embolic events Arrhythmias |
|
|
List the characteristics of amyloidosis |
Speckled myocardium Ground glass Norm LV size Trivial pericardial effusion |
|
|
Characteristics of sarcoidosis |
• Inflammatory cells growth in different parts of the body. • Thickened walls aneurysm. • PE • Pulmonary HTN |
|
|
List the characteristics of Pompes |
• Glycogen storage • Heart becomes enlarged and heavily thickened |
|
|
List causes of dilated cardiomyopathy |
Genetic Childbirth Chagas disease Alcohol Thiamine deficiency Hypo or hyperthyroidism Taco tsubo |
|
|
Which cardiomyopathy is associated with pregnancy and postpartum |
Peripartum |
|
|
Symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy |
Heart failure. Decreased Co. Regurgitate valves. Endocarditis. Thrombus. Dysrhythmias. Ischemia. Pericardial effusion. |
|
|
List characteristics of hemochromatosis |
• Iron overload • Multi organ and tissue damage • Heart failure • irregular rhythms |
|
|
List ways to adjust the machine or scanning to integrate the LV Apex |
• Zoom in • Decrease the depth • Move focal point |
