Study Notes

  • Diagram shows 3 orthogonal planes of the heart

  • Plane labeled #2 is the long axis

  • Diagram represents a parasternal M-mode echo scan from the left ventricle to aorta

  • Structure labeled #4 is the mitral valve

  • During an inferior MI, the RCA and PDCA are usually occluded

  • In the RAO LV Gram, the LV wall labeled #6 is the anterior-septal wall

  • In healthy resting hearts, an O2 saturation sample drawn from the right atrium will average 75%

  • With exercise, PA O2 saturations decrease, and the (AO-PA) arteriovenous difference widens

  • In a LEFT dominant coronary system, the posterior descending coronary artery usually arises from the RCA
