Use PW of AV inflow signal, or CW to get AV Use PW of AV inflow signal, or CW to get AV regurgitant signal…..Also need to measure regurgitant signal…..Also need to measure interval between AV closure and opening interval between AV closure and opening (AVco).(AVco).

Then, need to use PW or CW to capture Then, need to use PW or CW to capture semilunar outflow signal to measure ejection semilunar outflow signal to measure ejection time (ET). After all of this, IMP can be time (ET). After all of this, IMP can be calculated.calculated.

IMP = (AVco – ET)/ET IMP = (AVco – ET)/ET

Assessment of Regional Assessment of Regional FunctionFunction

Based on grading wall motion Based on grading wall motion divided into the 16 (17) segment divided into the 16 (17) segment model as proposed by the American model as proposed by the American Society of EchocardiographySociety of Echocardiography

Each segment can be viewed in Each segment can be viewed in multiple tomographic planes multiple tomographic planes

Assessment of Regional Assessment of Regional FunctionFunction

1 = normal1 = normal 2 = hypokinesis2 = hypokinesis 3 = akinesis3 = akinesis 4 = dyskinesis4 = dyskinesis 5 = aneurysmal5 = aneurysmal

WMSI = Sum of scores / Number of WMSI = Sum of scores / Number of visualized segmentsvisualized segments

WMSI > 1.7 may suggest perfusion WMSI > 1.7 may suggest perfusion defect > 20%defect > 20%

Assessment of Regional Assessment of Regional FunctionFunction

Qualitative estimation errors due to:Qualitative estimation errors due to:

Underestimation of EF due to endocardial Underestimation of EF due to endocardial echo dropout echo dropout

Underestimation of EF with enlarged LV Underestimation of EF with enlarged LV cavity; a large cavity; a large

LV can eject more blood with less LV can eject more blood with less endocardial motionendocardial motion

Overestimation of EF with a small LV cavityOverestimation of EF with a small LV cavity

Myocardium is color-coded according Myocardium is color-coded according to velocity to velocity

On P-Short Axis view, normal LV On P-Short Axis view, normal LV anterior wall motion during systole is anterior wall motion during systole is blue (away from transducer), and the blue (away from transducer), and the posterior wall motion is red (toward posterior wall motion is red (toward transducer); akinesis will have no colortransducer); akinesis will have no color

SummarySummary

Modalities limited by quality of echo Modalities limited by quality of echo windows, accurate measurements windows, accurate measurements are based on the ability to identify are based on the ability to identify and capture ideal axis (recognize and capture ideal axis (recognize misleading off axis/tangential slices), misleading off axis/tangential slices), and of course, echocardiographer and of course, echocardiographer experience…….. experience……..
