(BQ) Part 2 book Board stiff tee - Transesophageal echocardiography presents the following contents: Left ventricular systolic function, the 17 segment model, congenital heart disease, artifacts and pitfalls, related diagnostic modalities, sonographic formulas, test questions,...
CHAPTER 13 Left Ventricular Systolic Function Eric W Nelson For some reason there is a lot of focus on the left ventricle and its evaluation on TEE, both in the operating room and on the boards This most likely has to with the fact that it’s pumping blood to the entire body, thus keeping you alive The easiest way to start your evaluation of the left ventricle is to know what a normal left ventricle looks like The shape of the LV should look somewhat like a football If you drop a TEE probe in someone and the heart is closer to a basketball than a football, something is wrong So, now you know how to eyeball the heart and tell grossly if it’s normal or not, but what about an actual measurement? LV function is typically measured numerically by the ejection fraction (EF) That is, how much blood that goes into the LV goes out through the aorta? Good Bad EF can be calculated by measuring the fractional area of change (FAC) of the left ventricle A true long- or short-axis cross section is required being careful not to foreshorten Foreshortening is a term commonly used by echocardiographers to describe the heart when it is compressed because of the viewpoint taken With modern TEE machines all you have 123 124 Board Stiff TEE to is outline the end-diastolic area and the end-systolic area and the machine will crunch the numbers FAC = (end-diastolic area – end-systolic area)/end-diastolic area You can also estimate EF via the eyeball method, which is what most people On the test you should be able to look at an image and determine the difference between an EF of 25% and 55% Which is pretty easy! One thing to keep in mind whether using the eyeball method or doing an actual measurement is don’t jump to conclusions based on one view A single slice may look great, but remember it’s only part of the heart and another part may not look so good Also, if you are foreshortening or not getting a “true” cut of the LV your read is going to be off Make sure you eyeball the LV with multiple omniplane angles and also in both the transgastric and midesophageal views ABNORMAL LV SYSTOLIC FUNCTION Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is ischemia…if this wasn’t your first thought you may want to retake your boards There are also a lot of other things that may cause abnormal LV function n Ischemia, just can’t say it enough n Ventricle—infiltrative diseases that cause restrictive physiology such as amyloidosis cause global impairment n Pericardial space—tamponade either from an effusion or blood TEE is great at not only making this diagnosis, but also locating where the effusion is around the heart and whether it is loculated n Pleural space—tension pneumothorax causes decreased venous return thus decreasing preload and ventricular function n Metabolic—hypoxemia, hypoglycemia, anemia, hyperkalemia, and a vast array of other metabolic abnormalities CARDIOMYOPATHIES Hypertrophic There are four different types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, although the most famous is septal hypertrophy leading to subaortic stenosis or “hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy”, which all the cool kids just call HOCM (pronounced hokum) HOCM is an inherited cardiomyopathy It is autosomal dominant with limited penetrance, unless of course you are the patient then it is a very penetrating diagnosis! Chapter 13 Left Ventricular Systolic Function With hypertrophic cardiomyopathies systolic function typically is not the problem, rather the heart has a hard time relaxing, like that one attending we’ve all had with the vein in his forehead that seems to keep growing and may pop at any minute! An important point about HOCM is the picture you see on TEE Some people call this the “dagger sign” When a continuous wave Doppler is placed across the left ventricular outflow tract, or LVOT, and the AV the outflow pattern will resemble a dagger rather than the nice rounded appearance of someone without this problem This is secondary to the ventricle being so empty at the end of systole and the septum being so huge an obstruction actually occurs HOCM AS Keep in mind that patients with HOCM are also more prone to SAM or systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve Since the outflow tract is already narrow, it’s easy for the anterior leaflet to get sucked in and impede flow The definitive answer to relieving HOCM is surgical resection of the septum TEE plays an important role here in order to determine preop if the surgery is necessary and postop if there was enough septum resected, not enough, or too much If not enough was taken the obstruction will remain, but if the surgeon got a little greedy the patient may end up with a VSD Also remember that there are conduction fibers running through the septum It’s not uncommon to have a heart block after this type of surgery Too Little Too Much Just Right 125 126 Board Stiff TEE Medical management of HOCM involves keeping the heart full; remember that the obstruction occurs when the heart is empty; and also decreasing contractility Restrictive Sometimes the only way to tell the difference between a hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy is by looking at the posterior basal wall of the heart This is best appreciated in the transgastric short-axis views Remember, in hypertrophic cardiomyopathies the posterior basal wall is spared, but in restrictive cardiomyopathies it is not Oh yeah, don’t forget that a good history and physical can also help determine the type of cardiomyopathy as well Restrictive Hypertrophic Alright, we’ve determined that we have a restrictive cardiomyopathy, but where’d it come from? Well, the list is long and distinguished There are a lot of things that can “sneak” into the myocardium and cause restriction: n amyloid n sarcoid n glycogen from patients with glycogen storage disease n eosinophils from eosinophilic myocarditis (also known as Loffler’s) Like hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, restrictive cardiomyopathies mainly present a problem in diastole that is the heart does not relax well enough to accept blood Remember to go over the various diastolic E/A patterns and pulmonary venous flow because these show up on the test! Patients with restrictive heart disease are also prone to thrombus formation even without a wall motion abnormality Thrombi are typically found in the apex Remember, the apex of the heart is best visualized in the mid-esophageal 2-chamber view and the mid-esophageal 4-chamber view Thrombi may also form under the posterior mitral valve leaflet, which may lead to a bit of mitral regurgitation Chapter 13 Left Ventricular Systolic Function Dilated Remember at the beginning of this chapter when I mentioned that the heart shouldn’t look like a basketball? Well that’s exactly what this type of heart looks like It’s big, the walls are thin, and it really isn’t doing much at all Keep your eye out for thrombi, as there isn’t much going on so clot formation is possible Clot Like everything else there is a list of what causes dilated cardiomyopathy n Ischemic n Post viral n Peripartum n Alcohol n Idiopathic (a doctor’s way of saying “I just don’t know”) n And numerous others QUESTIONS Which wall is spared in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? A Inferiolateral B Posterior basal C Septal D Apical anterior E Anteroseptal Which of the following may cause cardiomyopathy?

Though it would make sense to 6/6/6, the SCA (perhaps fretting about the demonic number 666 from The Omen), only recognizes four segments in the ever-narrowing apex Lose the posterior and the anteroseptal segments there In the apical, you just have inferior, anterior (across from each other, remember), and septal and lateral (across from each other too) Now, put it back together, piece by piece, until it makes sense If you are still confused, stay tuned for the 17 segment chapter CORONARY ARTERY DISTRIBUTION AND FLOW REAL WORLD NOTE Major, major importance that you know this This ties in with the extremely practical dilemma that you face on a daily basis: “Is the new graft working?” If a wall fed by, say, the right coronary graft was working, and now is not working, hey, look at the graft for kinks, disconnects, clots, dissections It’s a hell of a lot easier to recognize the problem and fix it now than to find out later and lose a chunk of myocardium TEST NOTE Vintage testable material here, folks A little brutal memorization (come on, there are only three vessels, it’s not that bad) and you should nail these questions Chapter 24 Test Questions C Offers a better assessment of individual patient anatomy D Allows enhanced real-time velocity determinations 20-2 3D TEE probes utilize: A 128 piezelectric crystals B 2500 active elements C A trapezoidal image D Movement of the transducer to create images 20-3 True concerning 3-D TEE A Dispersion is the technique when data are converted to Cartesian coordinates B Extrapolation is the technique used to fill in data between the coordinates C Data acquisition takes place, followed by RAM storage, conversion, and interpolation D 2-D echoes are interpolated to form 3-D echoes 20-4 In 3-D imaging techniques, the poorest temporal resolution is associated with: A Live B Live zoom C Full volume 20-5 True about 3-D imaging: A Volume techniques can be generated in one heartbeat B Current systems allow line measurements within a 3-D volume C A grid of dots can currently be overlaid on a 3-D image to estimate length ANSWERS | Chapter 20: Intraoperative 3-D Echocardiography 20-1 D 20-2 B 20-3 C 20-4 B 20-5 C QUESTIONS | Chapter 21: The Structured TEE Examination 21-1 In the ME chamber view; the following walls of the left ventricle are seen: A Anteroseptal and posterior B Anterior and inferior 269 270 Board Stiff TEE C Septal and basal D Posteroseptal and lateral 21-2 The ME commissural view of the mitral valve (60 degrees) is most notable in that: A Only the a2 leaflet of the mitral valve is seen B P3 of the posterior, a2 of the anterior, and p1 of the posterior are the most frequently seen cusps C Only the posterior leaflets are seen D The LV is seen in short axis 21-3 The view used to create the most parallel and precise continuous wave assessment of velocity of blood flow in the ascending aorta is: A AV sax B Deep transgastric C AV lax D Epiaortic sax 21-4 The best view for simultaneous assessment of the tricuspid valve and pulmonic valve is: A ME sax B ME lax C RV inflow outflow D TG short axis 21-5 The best view for identifying coronary sinus, IVC, SVC, and the foramen ovale is: A 4-chamber degrees B 2-chamber 60 degrees C ME lax 135 degrees D ME bicaval view ANSWERS | Chapter 21: The Structured TEE Examination 21-1 B 21-2 B 21-3 B 21-4 C 21-5 D QUESTIONS | Chapter 22: Sonographic Formulas 22-1 Stroke volume equals: A AVA × peak vel B AVA × TVIav Chapter 24 Test Questions C AVA × TVIlvot D CSAlvot × TVIav 22-2 All true about PHT except: A Rate of decline in pressure through a valve over time B Time for peak pressure in a system to decline to ½ C Time of PHT = peak velocity/square root of D Equal to 0.29 × DT 22-3 MVA for stenotic valve: A 220/.29 × DT B 220 × PHT C PHT/220 D 0.29 × DT 22-4 All true for PISA determination of MVA except: A Angle correction of alpha/180 is used because the mitral valve is “tented” when closed and the isovelocity figure measured is less than hemisphere in size B pi r2 is the area of a hemisphere C ‘r’ is measured at the first isovelocity line D The determination is made during systolic ANSWERS | Chapter 22: Sonographic Formulas 22-1 B 22-2 A 22-3 A 22-4 D 271 This page intentionally left blank Epilogue: Smooth Sailing “Nothing ever happens on my voyages.” Edward Smith Captain of the Titanic There you have it TEE in a nutshell Now, whether you decide to make TEE a part of your OR, ER, or ICU practice, I wish you smooth sailing, just like Captain Smith had (At least for the first half of his trip.)
