Term
| Would a steep AV doppler slope indicate severe AS |
|
Definition
| No, doppler is on a time axis And the faster the blood passes through the valve the less stenosis |
|
|
Term
| If and AS pt has a low EF, would the gradient between V1 and V2 be large or small |
|
Definition
small because there isn’t enough power to generate a powerful contraction
No matter the degree of stenosis |
