Hemodynamics in echo lab by Dr. Ranjeet S.PalkarRanjeet Palkar
ECHO LAB AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEAMODYNAMICS. A simple cost effective,non invasive approach which when used appropriately can be boon for physicians and cardiologists in diagnosis and prognostication.
Atrioventricular blocks are related to delay in conduction of the AV node..
Their recognition is primarily by ECG, anatomical correlation is by EP study.
ST elevation is not always due to STEMI. Other causes to be kept in mind to prevent the undue complications of thrombolysis. wrong patient and wrong management
The electrocardiogram, a basic tool in cardiology has been developed two centuries ago. It was recorded by a giant machine at that time, which is now being recorded on a mobile. Such is the advancement in ECG, which is still the gold standard in diagnosis of VT .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Echocardiography remains the most frequently used and usually the
initial imaging test to evaluate all cardiovascular diseases related to a
structural, functional, or hemodynamic abnormality of the heart or
great vessels.
Uses the ultrasound beams reflected by cardiovascular structures to
produce characteristic lines or shapes caused by normal or abnormal
cardiac anatomy.
Doppler and colorflow imaging provide reliable assessment of cardiac
hemodynamics and blood flow.
3.
4.
5. Single dimension
Graphically represents the motion of cardiac structures.
Used primarily to measure cardiac chamber size.
Timing of cardiac events.
Display subtle abnormalities of cardiac motion.
For determination of LV mass.
May overestimate the dimensions if the direction of ultrasound
beam is oblique to that structure.
13. During the past 20 years, echocardiography has gradually replaced
cardiac catheterization for most hemodynamic assessments in most
clinical practices.
Less than 5% pts undergo hemodynamic cardiac catheterization
before AVR for AS.
Less than 50% pts undergoing pericardiectomy.
Doppler hemodynamic assessment is sometimes more reliable,
accurate than invasive hemodynamic assessment, the best example
being Transmitral pressure gradient(PCWP used as LA pressure).
14. Peak(Maximal) instantaneous gradient is measured(Peak to
peak in invasive).
Mean gradient – average of pressure gradients during the entire
flow period.
Bernoulli principle.
Simplified Bernoulli equation.
15. P = 4V² or (2V) ²
P =pressure difference
V = maximal velocity recorded across orifice by
CW doppler.
16. The simplified bernoulli equation ignores the proximal flow
velocity (v1) and estimates gradient based on the distal,or jet
velocity (v2),this is an acceptable simplification if v2 is
significantly greater than v1.
In case of proximal velocity (v1) is relatively high, this
simplification may be inappropriate.
If the gradient is low,the difference between v1 and v2 may be
relatively small and a more appropriate version of bernoulli
equation would be.
P = 4 (Vd² - Vp²)
17. Flow velocities recorded with doppler echocardiography are
used to determine various intracardiac pressures.
1.Pulmonary artery pressures
Tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity gives the systolic pressure
difference between RV and RA.
TRJV = (RVSP - RAP)
RVSP = TRJV +RAP
RVSP = PASP in absence of any stenosis.
18. Pulmonary regurgitation velocity represents the diastolic pressure
difference between the pulmonary artery and PV.
PAEDP = RVEDP + 4(PREDV)²
PAEDP = RAP + 4(PREDV)²
PA Mean Pressure = 4(PR peak velocity)² .
20. AR velocity reflects the diastolic pressure difference between the
aorta and the left ventricle.
LVEDP = DBP – (AREDV)² 4
DBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure
EDV =End Diastolic Velocity.
21. According to the hydraulic orifice formula, flow (rate) across a
fixed orifice is equal to the product of the cross sectional area
(CSA) of the orifice and flow velocity:
Flow rate : CSA Flow velocity.
In hemodynamic calculations of flow, SV and orifice area by
doppler echocardiography.
TVI – flow velocity varies during ejection in a pulsatile
system,individual velocities of the doppler spectrum need to be
summed (i.e. integrated) to measure the total volume of flow
during a given ejection period.sum of velocities is called time
velocity integral.
SV = CSA TVI
22. Mostly LVOT is used to determine the stroke volume.
CSA of the orifices in the heart is usually assumed to be a circle, and
is determined by measuring the orfice diameter (D)
CSA = (D/2)²
CSA = D² 0.785
SV = D² 0.785 TVI
Cardiac output = SV HR
Cardiac index = CO /BSA
23. Based on conservation of mass.
A1 TVI1 =A2 TVI 2
24. Originally developed for evaluating patients with mitral
stenosis.
Time required for the peak pressure gradient to be reduced by
one half.
Time required for the peak velocity to decrease to a value
equal to peak velocity divided by 2.
Time required for the initial velocity to decrease to a value of
peak velocity divided by 1.4.
Peak velocity multiplied by 0.7
PHT increases with increase in stenosis.
26. Novel application of continuity principle.
As blood converges toward an orifice,doppler flow imaging
reveals concentric shells or hemispheres which represent
isovelocity surfaces.
As the blood accelerates toward the orifice velocity alaising
occurs,distinct red blue interface occurs at the boundary of
shells.
Velocity is equal to nyquist limit.
Surface area =2r²
Flow rate = 6.28 r² aliasing velocity
Flow rate =ERO velocity jet
27. Index of LV contractility
Rate of LV pressure increase during early systole = dp/dt
Early mitral regurgitant velocity represents dp/dt as LA
Pressure varies little during isovolumic contraction.
Measuring the slope of the mitral regurgitation velocity.
Time interval between 1m/sec and 3m/sec
dp/dt = 32/time interval
Good correlation with cath data..
Normal dp/dt >1200mmhg /sec
28. Ratio of pressure to flow.
SVR = MR velocity /LVOT TVI
SVR = Mean aortic pressure – RA Pressure /CO (cath)
SVR > 0.27 has 70% sensitivity and 77% specificity for SVR
>14 WU.
PVR = TR velocity/RVOT TVI* 10+0.16
29. Workload on right ventricle
Derived by RHC – strong predictor of survival in patients with
pulmonary hypertension.
How much aggregate pulmonary artery will dilate with each
RV contraction.
PVCAP = SV/Pulse pressure of pulmonary artery
PVCAP = LVOT area* LVOT TVI / 4 (TR velocity² –PR
velocity ²)
