- C.
The posterior leaflet has larger annular attachment than anterior leaflet

Which of the following statements concerning determination of stroke volume using Doppler is incorrect..
- A.
VTI and Area should be determined at the same location
- B.
LVOT, AV, Ascending aorta and Main Pulmonary artery are all equally suitable for measuring stroke volume
- C.
The spatial flow velocity profile should be flat
- D.
VTI should be determined with ultrasound beam parallel to blood flow
- E.
VTI and area should be determined during mid systole
Correct Answer
B. LVOT, AV, Ascending aorta and Main Pulmonary artery are all equally suitable for measuring stroke volumeExplanation
The incorrect statement is that LVOT, AV, Ascending aorta and Main Pulmonary artery are all equally suitable for measuring stroke volume. In reality, the LVOT (Left Ventricular Outflow Tract) is the most commonly used location for measuring stroke volume using Doppler. This is because it provides a reliable and accurate measurement of blood flow velocity. The other locations mentioned may not provide the same level of accuracy or consistency in measuring stroke volume.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
This kind of Doppler velocity profile is seen in
- A.
Left ventricular Hypertrophy
- B.
Mitral stenosis
- C.
Tricuspid regurgitation
- D.
Mitral regurgitation, in early stages
- E.
Hypovolemia
Correct Answer
A. Left ventricular HypertropHyExplanation
This transmitral Pulse Wave Doppler is showing Stage 1 diastolic dysfunction where E < A ( due to delayed relaxation).
LVH is one of the commonest causes for this.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
What is being measured here ?
Correct Answer
C- Sept, Coaptation - Septum distance, csept, c sept, c-septExplanation
If the distance is more than 2.6 cms, then the possibility of patient having systolic anterior motion after mitral valve repair is less.Rate this question:
- 15.
What other measurements are usually done along with this..
- A.
Mitral annulus diameter
- B.
Leaflet heights and their ratio
- C.
Coaptation height
- D.
Septal thickness
- E.
Left ventricular dimensions
Correct Answer
B. Leaflet heights and their ratioExplanation
Leaflet heights are done along with C-sept measurement.
If C-sept is < 2.6cms, AMVL/PMVL is < 1.4cm, PMVL height is > 1.5cms, then possibility of patient having systolic anterior motion and LVOT obstruction after MV repair is very high.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
What is being measured here?
- A.
Systolic index of contractility
- B.
Mitral inflow velocity
- C.
Diastolic index of contractility
- D.
Severity of mitral regurgitation
- E.
Severity of mitral stenosis
Correct Answer
A. Systolic index of contractilityExplanation
The correct answer is Systolic index of contractility. This is because the question is asking what is being measured, and the systolic index of contractility refers to the strength and efficiency of the heart's contraction during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle.Rate this question:
