the balloon
✔✔What is the best balloon to use on an artery that has a tendency to close? - ✔✔A
perfusion balloon
✔✔Jugular Vein dissension can be caused by? - ✔✔-RV infarct
-Pulmonary Hypertension
-Tricuspid Regurgitation
✔✔Shortness of breath indicates right or left sided heart failure? - ✔✔Left-sided heart
failure
✔✔Ventricular arrythmias are most common during the injection of which coronary
artery? - ✔✔RCA
✔✔Osmolality refers to the ability of the contrast to? - ✔✔Pull fluid into the intravascular
space
✔✔The ideal contrast volume to be given to the patient is? - ✔✔3 mL/kg
✔✔Synchronous (demand) pacemakers have what unique ability? - ✔✔They sense the
hearts intrinsic activity and pace only when needed
✔✔In order, the first three letters of the pacemaker code mean what? - ✔✔1: Chamber
Paced
2: Chamber Sensed
3: Chamber Triggered
✔✔The purpose of Biventricular pacemakers is to? - ✔✔To synchronize the contraction
of both ventricles
✔✔The purpose of ICD's is to? - ✔✔Monitor bradycardia, tachycardia, VT, and V-Fib
and convert if necessary
✔✔In the terms in RAO and LAO the R and the L refer to what? - ✔✔The position of the
image intensifier
✔✔What is the best view to see the LAD and Circ bifurcation? - ✔✔Spider View (LAO
Caudal)
, ✔✔On an EKG, what shows a "true" posterior infarct? - ✔✔V7-V9, V1 and V2
✔✔What catheter does an Internal Mammary catheter resemble? - ✔✔JR4
✔✔If the patient has a dilated aortic root, which catheter might you need to cannulate
the right coronary system? - ✔✔JR5
✔✔In a routine PTCA, what might be some complications caused by the handling of the
wire? - ✔✔Arterial dissection or perforation
✔✔What does RAD start for? - ✔✔Radiation Absorbed Dose
✔✔The most important factor in decreasing X-ray exposure to a patient is to? - ✔✔To
decrease time of exposure
✔✔What is the max dose of radiation a worker can receive in a year? - ✔✔5 REM
✔✔What converts the X-rays to light rays? - ✔✔Image Intensifier
✔✔What is the best choice of catheter to use on a LCA with a high take-off? -
✔✔Amplatz

✔✔What is the normal PR interval?
If the PR interval is 0.25, where is the delay? - ✔✔Normal PR interval 0.12-0.20
PR interval > 0.20, the conduction delay occurs in the AV node
✔✔What is the normal amount of blood in the pericardium? - ✔✔5-50 mL is normal
✔✔When are the coronary arteries perfumed? - ✔✔During Ventricular Diastole
✔✔In what condition do you get the equalization of LVEDP and RVEDP? -
✔✔Constrictive Pericarditis
✔✔Where is the most common renal stenosis located? - ✔✔Ostial
✔✔What will cause failure to capture of pacemaker in the RV? - ✔✔Lead dislodgement
