Definition
Term
IS the distal portion of the superficial femoral artery, which is proximal to the adductor hiatus, proximal to the distal portion of the popliteal or is it proximal to the proximal portion of the popliteal?
Definition
Proximal to the proximal portion because the hiatus denotes politeal and ends superficial femoral thus
the furthest part of the femoral(the end) is close to the closest pert(the beginning) of the popliteal
Term
Be able to point out waves and their various attributes and abnormalities.
Definition
Term
What does the atrial tracing for AV valve stenosis look like?what about Regurge for the same valves?
Definition
Term
What is the difference between right and left sides in pressure tracings?
Definition
Pressure =)
Term
What does the A wave represent? The C wave? The V wave? Where is the y wave and what does it mean?
Definition
Atrial kick, C= a shift in the annulus, v= filling ofthe atria during relaxation(total volume) Y wave is the diachrotic(downward slope) limb of the V wave and is Rapid passive filling
Term
When are the AV valves closed on all tracings? how about semilunar valves?
Definition
Between Atrial A wave and V wave, Semilunar is the opposite
Term
What is the difference between IVCT and IVRT? how are they the same?
Definition
All valves are closed during IVCT and IVRT but IVCT is where contration begins and IVRT is where Relaxation begins
Term
Where can pressure changes be seen if there is aortic valve stenosis? What about AI?
Definition
Larger ventricle tracing, Arterial pressure drops lower than ventricular pressure
and ventricular pressure slopes off slowly
