Name the three layers of the heart from superficial to deep. | pericardium, myocardium,endocardium |
Describe the pericardium. | Hyperechoic, thin, outermost layer of the heart |
Describe the myocardium. | Middle layer, makes up the bulk of the muscle mass of the heart |
Describe the endocardium. | Thin, innermost layer of the heart, made of epithelial tissue |
Describe the tricuspid valve. | Seperates the RA from the RV,found between the RA and RVIT, open during diastole and closed during systole,leaflets are anterior, posterior, and septal. |
Describe the pulmonary valve. | A semilunar valve, between the RVOT and the PA, closed during diastole, open during systole, leaflets are right, left, and anterior, |
Describe the mitral valve. | Bicuspid, found between the LA and LVIT, open during diastole, closed during systole, leaflets are posterior and anterior (anterior is adjacent to aortic opening). |
Describe the aortic valve. | A semilunar valve, found between the LVOT and the Ao, closed during diastole, open during systole, leaflets are right, left, and NCC. |
Name the leaflets of the tricuspid valve | anterior, posterior, and septal |
Name the leaflets of the pulmonic valve | right, left, and anterior |
Name the leaflets of the mitral valve | anterior and posterior |
Name the leaflets of the aortic valve | right, left, and NNC |
What happens during diastole | ventricles relax, lower pressure opens the AV valves and gravity pulls blood from the atria into the ventricles, atria contract, semilunar valves are closed |
What happens during systole | AV valves close, ventricles contract, semilunar valves open, blood is forced out of the ventricles, atria relax and fill with blood |
On ECG, what does the P, QRS, and T wave represent? | P wave = atria contractQRS wave = ventricles contract (atria relax during this interval)T wave = ventricles relax |
What is the moderator band? | It is a thick, muscular band containing nerve fibers located in the apical portion of the RV connecting the anterior freewall to the septal wall. |
Trace the path of the blood through the heart | RA, TV, RVIT, RV, RVOT, PV, PA, lungs, Pulmonary veins, LA, MV, LVIT, LV, LVOT, AV |
Sequence the five components of the electrical conduction system of the heart | SA node, AV node, bundle of HIS, Left and Right bundle branches, purkinje fibers |
Describe the patient position and location of the parasternal window | Patient is LLD and Tx is placed just lateral to the sternum between the 3rd and 5th intercostal space |
Describe the patient position and location of the apical window | Patient is LLD and the Tx is placed inferior to and lateral to the left breast or nipple, at the PMI or apex of the heart |
Describe the patient position and location of the subcostal window | Patient is supine with knees bent and the Tx is placed near the midline, inferior to the xiphoid process |
Describe the patient position and location of the suprasternal window | Patient is supine with head arched back and the Tx is placed superior to the suprasternal notch |
What structures can be seen in PLAX of the LVIT and LVOT | From anterior to posterior: RV; IVS; LV with LVOT, AV, and Ao; MV and LA |
What structures can be seen in PSAX at the level of PPM | RV, LV, LVPW, IVS, posteromedial and anterolateral ppm |
What structures can be seen in PSAX apical | RV and LV, IVS, LV walls |
What structures can be seen in PSAX at the level of MV | MV, basal portion of the LV walls, IVS, RV |
What structures can be seen in PSAX at the level of AV | AV, LA, IAS, RA, TV, RV, PV RVOT, PV, PA |
What structures can be seen in PSAX at the level of the Pulmonary branch | Main PA, RPA, LPA, PV, RVOT, AV (sometimes the TV and RA) |
Name the 5 levels of PSAX view | Apical, PPM, MV, AV, and Pulmonary branching |
What structures can be seen in the apical four chamber view? | RA, RV, LA, LV, IVS, TV, MV |
What structures can be seen in the apical five chamber view? | RA, RV, LA, LV, IVS, TV, MV, AV (aortic root) |
What structures can be seen in the apical LAX LVIT? | LA, MV, LV, LVIT, LVPW |
What structures can be seen in the apical LAX LVOT? | LA, MV, LV, LVOT, AV, Ao, RV, LVPW |
What structures can be seen in the subcostal 4 chamber view? | RA, TV, RV, LA, MV, LV, IVS(liver) |

What structures can be seen in the supersternal LAX | ascending Ao, aortic arch, descending Ao, brachiocephalic trunk, Left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery, right PA |
What structures can be seen in the supersternal SAX | Ao, PA, LPA, RPA, SVC, RA |
Name and describe the three portions of the left ventricular wall | The basal portion is the superior third of the ventricular wall; the septal (mid) portion is the middle third of the VW; the apical is the inferior third of the VW. |
Describe the type of information the Doppler study contributes to a cardiac ultrasound examination | Qualitative: presence of flow (direction?)Quantitative: taking measurements, velocities, etc. |
Differentiate a Doppler wavefore of the AV and MV | AV: below the line, one waveMV: above the line, two waves (a larger e wave and a smaller a wave) |
Identify the components of the MV doppler waveform and what they represent | D:end of systole, open MV; E: Max leaflet motion, early filling; F: Ventricular relaxation, partial MV closure; A: atrial contraction, late filling; C: MV closure, beginning of systole |
