Study Notes
Echo Wall Segment Images Flashcards
- Anterior RV wall refers to the front section of the right ventricle, crucial for blood flow to the lungs.
- Anteroseptum is a segment located between the anterior and septal walls, important for identifying coronary artery issues.
- Apex indicates the tip of the heart, where the ventricles come together, vital for diagnosing ischemic heart disease.
- Inferolateral LV wall is located at the bottom side of the left ventricle, significant for assessing heart function and diseases.
- Infundibulum, often connected to the right ventricle, plays a role in blood flow to the pulmonary artery.
- IVS (Interventricular Septum) is the wall dividing the left and right ventricles, important for heart pumping function.
- Anterior LV wall is the front portion of the left ventricle, central for cardiac output.
- Apical cap represents the area at the apex of the heart, involved in detecting myocardial infarction.
- Inferior LV wall constitutes the lower part of the left ventricle, related to inferior wall myocardial infarction.
- IAS (Interatrial Septum) separates the left and right atria, vital for proper cardiac function.
- Apical anterior refers to the front upper part of the heart, important during echocardiography assessments.
- Apical inferior indicates the lower front area of the apex, crucial for analyzing cardiac health.
- Basal anterior shows the upper front part of the left ventricle, essential for evaluating heart structure.
- Basal inferior represents the bottom front portion of the left ventricle, linked with inferior heart issues.
- Mid anterior and mid inferior are sections in the middle of the respective walls, important for functional assessment.
- Apical lateral pertains to the side part of the apex, often evaluated in echocardiograms.
- Basal anteroseptum and basal inferior lateral segments provide insight into the health of the heart muscle.
- Mid anteroseptum and mid inferior septum are mid-sectional areas important for detecting cardiac abnormalities.
- Apical septum indicates the apex region near the septal wall, significant for understanding interventricular issues.
- Anterior, inferior, lateral, and septal are key descriptors for various areas of the heart critical in diagnosing conditions.
- Anterolateral indicates the combined area of the anterior and lateral heart walls, relevant for specific cardiac evaluations.
