Where is the typical location of a true aneurysm
the LV apex
What is a common complication of an apical aneuyrsm
a clot within it (bc of dyskinesis)
What groove does the LAD run
interventricular groove
What vessels does the LAD give off
Diagnol
laD

Septal perforators
What does the septal perforators supply and what branch do these come off of
septum
off the LAD
What groove does the LCx run
posteriorly in the atrioventricular grooove
What provides the primary supply to the lateral wall of the ventricle
Cx
What branches does the Cx give off
obtuse mariginal

Cx OM= COM
What groove does the right coronary artery run
the AV groove anteriorly (right)
What branches does the RCA give off
Acute marginal
What supplies the inferior portion of the heart
the PDA
Is a the PDA always given off by the RCA
no (only right domninant)
What are the classic CT findings of an infarct
wall thining
subendocardial low density (fat or bc of low perfusion)
What are the classic MR findings of an acute infarct
wall thining
wall motion abnormality
delayed enhancement
What is the neck size of an apical aneurysm
wide
Do apical aneurysm have a tendency to rupture
no
Where do pseudoaneurysms tend to occur
posteriorly or at the diaphragm
What is the difference in neck size between a pseudoaneurysm and a true apical aneurysm
pseuo has a thin neck
Which one will MC rupture; pseudo or true aneurysm
pseudo
What type of aneurysms will require surgery
a pseudoaneurysm (true apical aneurysms do not)
What is the measurement cut off in determining if a patient should have revascularization
greater than 5.5mm
What is the ratio of viable myocardium:wall thickness needed to go and do revascularization
>50%
If the enhancing region does not involve the subendocardial region is it an infarct
no
Can sarcoid cause delayed cardiac enhancement
yes, and will be patching and not involve the subendocardium
What is the big 3 of non-ischemic delayed enhancemetn
myocarditis
amyloid
sarcoid
What are some cardiomyopatheis that may cause non-ischemic patterns of non-enhancement
HOCM
dilated CM
ARVD
What is the most sensitive finding for ARVD
diffuse or focal wall thickening
What is the most specific finding in ARVD
Aneurysm
Does ARVD have fatty infiltration
yes
Does the right ventricle dilate with a decreased EF
yes
What are the classic finding of ARVD
fatty infiltration of the RV wall with thickening
If the septum is very thick compared to the LV wall what should you suspect
HOCM
What are the 2 forms of HOCM
asymmetric
symmetric
What percent of HOCM are asymmetric
95%
What are the locations of wall thickening in asymmetric HOCM
septal
apical
What does the symmetric type of HOCM look like
aortic stenosis or htn
What are the findings in symmetric HOCM
wall thickness greater than 12mm with abscense of HTN

(DURING DIASTOLE)
In HOCM what ratio can be used to used to detect subtle asymmetry
septum;posterolateral wall

>1.3 or >1.5 (both are used)
What type of stenosis may occur as result of HOCM
subvalvulal aortic stenosis
Can HOCM occur in other regions besides the septum
yes, this may occur at the apex
A mass in a atrium attached to the wall by a stalk
myxoma
How do you differentiate a thrombus from a mass
look for enhancement
What is the MC cardiac malignant mass
angiosarcoma
angiosarcoma is the MC malignant primary tumor of the heart
yes
What are the two most common benign primary cardiac tumors
lipoma
myxoma
What is the ddx of primary malignant cardiac tumors
3
angiosarcoma

leiomyosarcoma
What are the radiographic findings of constrictive pericarditis
pericardial thickening (>4mm)
pericardial calcificitation
septal bounce
tubular RV
enlarged RA or IVC
When does septal bounce occur
early diastole
What are 4 causes of sudden cardiac death in a young person
HOCM
anomalous coronary
ARVD
