Cardiac Anatomy

Exam 1

QuestionAnswer
What makes up the RVOT? blood exiting the right ventricle through the pulmonic valve to the pulmonary artery
What makes up RVIT? blood exiting the right atrium through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
What makes up the LVOT? blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve into the aorta
What makes up the LVIT? blood exiting the left atrium through the mitral valve into the left ventricle
What valves are closed during systole? AV valves (tricuspid & mitral)
What valves are closed during diastole? Semilunar valves (pulmonic & aortic)
What's the thin oval region in the right atrium? fossa ovalis
What is located at the superior portions of the atria? left & right atrial appendages or auricles
Which ventricle is more trabeculated? right
What will you only see in the right atrium? crista supraventricularis and parietal, septal, & moderator bands, as well as Eustachian valve, Thebesian valve, & coronary sinus
What are the parts of the mitral valve? anterior & posterior mitral valve leaflets
What are the parts of the tricuspid valve? anterior, inferior/posterior, & septal valve leaflets
Where do leaflets of mitral valve attach? mitral valve annulus
What are the parts of the aortic valve? left, right, & non-coronary cusps
What measurements are taken in the aortic root? sinus of Valsalva, sino-tubular junction, & ascending aorta
What arises from the sinus of Valsalva? left & right Coronary arteries
What are the parts of the pulmonic valve? anterior, right, & left pulmonary valve cusps
What does the left main coronary artery branch into? left anterior descending (LAD) & left circumflex (LCX)
What does the right main coronary artery branch into? right posterior descending (RPD), right marginal, & nodal artery
What structure is usually seen in the right ventricle? moderator band
This valve is more inferiorly attached to the IVS? tricuspid valve
The aortic arch is best seen from this window? suprasternal
This window is used to view & measure the IVC: subcostal
What is the valve of the coronary sinus? Thebesian valve
A congenital remnant seen in the right atrium: chiari network
the superior portion of each atrium: appendage
This measure low velocity & high amplitude: tissue doppler
The NCC intersects with the structure: IAS
LV measurements are made at this level from the PLAX view: chordal level
What artery courses under the aortic arch? right pulmonary artery
What vein is seen from the SSN that may be confused for a dissection of the aortic arch? left innominate vein
In the PLAX view, the IVS runs continuous with the: anterior aortic root
What runs continuous with the AMVL? posterior aortic root
This valve may be seen at the basal LV PSAX level: mitral valve
This represents ventricular depolarization on an EKG: QRS
Doppler assessment of both the PV & TV can be interrogated from this view: PSAX
Which echo modality has the greatest temporal resolution? M-Mode
This represents atrial depolarization on an EKG: P wave
This represents ventricular repolarization on an EKG: T wave
