Procedures for which ICE imaging has been reported to be of benefit include, but are not limited to, guidance of transseptal puncture to gain access to the LA, transcatheter closure device placement, radio frequency ablation, cardiac biopsy, mitral vavluoplasty and occlusion of the LA appendage.

In the cath lab, pressure tracings are acquired directly from the chambers and the peak pressures from each chamber are compared.  This is called a (n)_____.

Most 3D artifacts are related to respiratory, EKG gating, and/or incorrect gain settings.

Climate change is manifested by several observed indicators from the near-surface of the Earth, ocean, land, and ice. For the observed indicators on land, there are only two indicators – ambient temperature and precipitation. This statement is

It is not necessary to understand coronary artery correlation to wall segments on echocardiography in order to interpret studies accurately.

During intracardiac studies, the ICE catheter is advanced from the inferior vena cava with the control mechanism in a free or neutral position. The catheter is then placed in the mid LA.

In which clinical situation would the patient still have the TEE performed?

Color on the spectral image precludes post-processing.  Therefore, it is suggested to use only gray-scale for spectral imaging.
